Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = the amount Angela has saved.

Let e = the amount Eli has saved.

"Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings."

e = a/3 + 8

"If they each save $10 more." then

Eli will have: e + 10

Angela will have a + 10

"Eli will have saved $4 more than Angela's savings."

e + 10 = a + 10 + 4

This equation simplifies to: e = a + 4

We have a system of two equations in two variables.

e = a/3 + 8

e = a + 4

Since both equations are solved for e, we just equate the right sides.

a/3 + 8 = a + 4

Subtract a/3 from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.

a/3 - a/3 + 8 - 4 = a - a/3 + 4 - 4

4 = (2/3)a

Multiply both sides by 3/2

(3/2)4 = (3/2)(2/3)a

6 = a

a = 6

Angela has $6.

e = a + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

Eli has $10.

We have the following expression given:

(4y^3+28y^2)+(y+7)

We can start selecting as common factor 4y^2 and we got:

4y^2(y+7)+(y+7)

Now we can select y+7 as common factor and we got:

(y+7)\left\lbrack 4y^2+1\right\rbrack

So then our final answer would be:

(y+7)(4y^2+1)
