Alan and Connor have £6.70 in total. Alan has £1.79 more than Connor.

Let a be the amount of money Alan has. Let c be the amount of money Connor has.

Set up a pair of simultaneous squat and solve to find out glue much each person has

a = £4.245, c = £2.455

Step-by-step explanation:

a + c = 6.70

a = c + 1.79

replace a in the first equation with c + 1.79

c + 1.79 + c = 6.70

simplify: 2c + 1.79 = 6.70

subtract 1.79 from each side: 2c = 4.91

divide each side by 2: c = 2.455

now replace c in the second equation with 2.455

a = 2.455 + 1.79

add: a = 4.245
