Let Ale’s money=a
Let Leo’s money=L

a=2L+3

You may have to rearrange any multiple choice answers algebraically, but they should all simplify down to the a= equation.

In problems like this, you can solve by thinking of how the word problem defines the variable. Ale is defined as twice Leo, plus three.
