Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let us denote Angela's saving by "x".

  If Eli's saving is $8 more than one-third of Angela's saving, then Eli's saving   is:

 [(1/3 × x) + 8 = x/3 + 8]

 We will make x/3 + 8 to have a common denominator:

 x/3 + 8 = (x+24)/3

 

 If Eli and Angela each saved $10 more, then their respective savings would have been:

(x+24)/3  +  10 for Eli

x+10 for Angela.

At this savings, Eli would have been $4 richer than Angela.

i.e   [((x + 24)/3) + 10] -  (x+10) = $4

 We will make [(x+24)/3] + 10 to have common denominator.

(x + 24 + 30)/3

= (x + 54)/3

 Then:

  [(x+54)/3]  -  [(x+10)/1] = 4

   [x+54-(3x+30)]/3 = 4/1

    (-2x + 24)/3 = 4

 

    cross multiply

  -2x + 24 = 12

    -2x = -12

       x = -12/-2

       x = 6

  Since Eli's saving = x/3 + 8

Then his actual saving

  = 6/3 + 8

  = 2 + 8

  = $10

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( \frac{1}{3}A + 8) = E - E

\frac{2}{3}A - 4 = 0

\frac{2}{3}A = 4

A = 4 × \frac{3}{2} = 6

So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10

So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.

If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.
