Stan has $42 and Cory has $108
you figure it out by algebra. Cory has 24+2*stan. Cory+Stan=$150. So $150=$24+3*stan(two come from cory plus stans amount). You solve for Stan first but subtracting 24 from 150 to get $126, then you divide by 3 to get $42 for Stan's amount. Then you plug $42 into the formula and you get the answer.

Let, stan have X dollars.
then, cory have = 2X+24 dollars
According to problem
X+(2X+24)= 150
3X + 24 = 150
3X = 150 - 24
X = 126/3
hence, X = 42.
so, cory have $108.
and, stan have $42.

cory has 2x+24 dollars, if x=stans money
so, (cory) +(stan)=150
(2x+24)+(x)=150
2x+24+x=150
3x+24=150
3x=150-24
3x=126
x=126/3
x=42
then go back to your original two equations for each persons amount of money. stan has x dollars (42) and cory has 2x+24 dollars (2*42+24=108)
so stan has 42 and cory has 108.

You would find the equations to be 2s+24=c and c+s=150 and then you would solve by substituting 2s+24 into the other equation getting 2s+24+s=150 then simplify to 3s=126 and then s = 42 and c=108

$42 and $108 is the correct answer.
(2x+24)+(x)= 150
3x=126
x=42
2x+24=108

87 and 63
150-24=126/2= 63
then 63 +24=87
87+63=150
