Pete has 3 dollars less than what Linda has. If together has 81 dollars how much does each person have?

Pete: 39, Linda: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Pete has x dollars. If he has 3 dollars less than Linda, then Linda has 3+x dollars. Together, they have 81 dollars:

x+3+x=81

2x+3=81

2x=78

x=39

Since Pete has x dollars, and x=39, he has $39.

Linda has 3+x, which is 39+3 = $42

I hope this helps! :)
