At the end of the year, Juan has 52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning. Okay, let's set this up.
4x + 52.71
(4 times) (52.71 more)
His ending was 172.90, so
4x + 52.71=172.90
4x= 120.19
x= 30.05
He had $30.05 at the beginning of the year.
3x + 2 = 5x - 8
Flip
5x - 8 = 3x + 2
Subtract both sides by 3x
2x - 8 = 2
Add both sides by 8
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)
