Answer:

John has $15 and Alex has $33

Step-by-step explanation:

a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem

x+y=48

x=2y+3

since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:

(2y+3)+y=48  -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45  -> y=15

plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x

x+15 =48 --> x=33
