Landlord

The landlord had 49 ducats more than George. How many ducats did George steal from the landlord if George now has five more ducats than the landlord?

Final Answer:

x =  27

Step-by-step explanation:


z=49+j
z-x+5=j+x
j=100

j-z = -49
j+2x-z = 5
j = 100

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
j-z = -49
2x = 54
j = 100

Row 3 - Row 1 → Row 3
j-z = -49
2x = 54
z = 149


z = 149/1 = 149
x = 54/2 = 27
j = -49+z = -49+149 = 100

j = 100
x = 27
z = 149
