31 workers are working on a construction site. 5 more workers work for company a than for company b. how many workers work for each company?

Company A- 13 workers
Company B- 18 workers

X= # Company A workers
x+5= # Company B workers
31= total # workers

x + (x + 5)= 31
2x + 5= 31

subtract 5 from both sides
2x= 26

divide both sides by 2
x= 13 company A

Company B
=x+5
=13+5
=18

CHECK:
13 + 18= 31
31= 31

ANSWER: Company A has 13 workers and Company B has 18 workers.

Hope this helps! :)
