This is simple addition. The VCR costs 109.75, and the TV costs 137.18 more, so you simply add the two numbers together. There is no equation involved, other than VCR+TV=x.

let T be the cost of the television and V be the cost of VCR

“The TV was $137.18 more than the VCR” tells you:

T = V + 137.18

V = 109.75

T = 109.75 + 137.18

T = $246.93

if VCR = $109.75

let price of TV be x

x-$109.75=$137.18

x =$137.18+$109.75

x =$246.93

therefore * the price of the TV is $246.93

*(use the three dots instead of therefore)

Break it down as follows:

TV = VCR + $137.18

VCR = $109.75

TV = $109.75 + $137.18

Would be easier, if they wrote the equation out.

Im not good at these things, translating English into a forign language is hard.

VCR=$109.75

Tv=x

109.75+137.18=$246.93

$109.75+137.18=T or T = $109.75+$137.18

T being the cost of the tv (variable)
