Unfortunate 4243

The unfortunate landowner had 49 ducats more than Jurosik.
How many ducats did Jurosik steal from the landowner if he now has five ducats more than the landowner?

Correct answer:

x =  22

Step-by-step explanation:


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

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

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
j-z = -49
2x = 44
j = 100

Row 3 - Row 1 → Row 3
j-z = -49
2x = 44
z = 149


z = 149/1 = 149
x = 44/2 = 22
j = -49+z = -49+149 = 100

j = 100
x = 22
z = 149
