Steven has $150. John has J dollars. Steven has 30 less than 2 times the amount John has. How much does John have?

J = 90

John has 90 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how much money John has. To find how much J equals we need to break it down.

We already know that Steven has 150 dollars. We also know that he has 30 less than two times the amount John has.

Steven has 30 less than two times the amount John has.

So 150 + 30 = 180

180 is two times the amount John has.

Because 180 is two times the amount John has we need to divide by two.

180 ÷ 2 = 90.

J = 90. Therefore John has 90 dollars.
