Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

4 x ((-4)= (-2) - (-3) + (-6))
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

x=5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x(−4)=−2−(−3)−6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x(−4)=−2−(−3)−6

−16x=−2+3+−6

−16x=(−2+3+−6)(Combine Like Terms)

−16x=−5

−16x=−5

Step 2: Divide both sides by -16.

−16x

−16

=−5/−16

x=5/16
