Total amount of money: 175

Owen's amount: x

Ethan's amount: x + 33

(x) + (x + 33) = 175

2x + 33 = 175

2x = 142

x = 71

Owen's amount: $71

Ethan's amount: $104

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

Owen has $71; Ethan has $104.

Step-by-step explanation:

O + E = 175       Owen's total + Ethan's total = $175.

E = (33+0)       Ethan has $33 more than Owen.

Plug in E to the equation.

O + (33 + O) = 175

2O + 33 = 175.

2O = 175 -33

2O = 142

O = 71     (Owen has $71)

$175 - $71 =  $104  (Ethan has $104.)
