If I give my brother $5$ dollars, then we will have the same amount of money. If instead he gives me $10$ dollars, then I'll have twice as much money as he will have. How much money does my brother currently have (in dollars)?

Amt you have at first  =  A

Amt  your brother has at first  = B

 

After you give him $5

A - 5 =  B + 5

A  = B + 10      (1)

 

If he gives you $10

A + 10 =  2(B - 10)

(B + 10) + 10  = 2B - 20

B + 20  = 2B - 20

B = 40

 

He has  $40

You have $50
