margart and nathan spent a total of 128 at the state fair last weekend.nathan spent $2 more than twice the amount that margaret spent how much did nathan spend

Respuesta :

x= Amount that margaret spent
2x+2= amount that nathan spent
make an equation:
2x+2+x=128
solve for x:
4x=128
x= 33 (margaret)
2(33)+2= $68 (nathan)
