The amount Chris started within his savings is $44. option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount Chris saved = $xAmount spent on video games = 1/2xAdditional amount earned = $10Total = $321/2x + 10 = 32subtract 10 from both sides1/2x = 32 - 101/2x = 22divide both sides by 1/2x = 22 ÷ 1/2x = 22 × 2/1x = $44Therefore, the amount Chris started within his savings is $44. option C
because it says in the end he has 32 if we minus the ten he earned from cutting grass he had 22 it also said he spent half the savings on video games so 22 times 2 is 44 and if we plug it into the equation for x we get 32
