Answer:
together they have $71.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tim has m dollars.
Rebecca has $6 less than 1/10 times the number of dollars that Tim has.
Let Rebecca has r dollars.
So the expression becomes:
[tex]r=0.1m-6[/tex]
The total amount of money that Tim and Rebecca have can be given as:
m+r
= [tex]m+0.1m-6[/tex]
If m = 70
then r = [tex]0.1(70)-6[/tex]
= [tex]7-6=1[/tex]
Hence, Rebecca has $1.
And altogether they both have = [tex]70+1=71[/tex] dollars
