Answer:

Before: Bob, $4; Bessy, $24
After: Bob, $10; Bessy, $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money Bob starts with. Then Bessy starts with 6x. After they have each earned $6, the relationship of their amounts is ...

(6x +6) = 3(x +6)

6x +6 = 3x +18

3x = 12

x = 4

Bob starts with $4; Bessy with $24.

After earning $6, Bob has $10; Bessy has $30.

Solve for ppp. -5\left(p+\dfrac35\right) = -4−5(p+ 5 3 )=−4minus, 5, left parenthesis, p, plus, start fraction, 3, divided by,

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

p = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 5(p + 3/5) = -4

Find P

4 - 5(p + 3/5) = -4

4 - 5p -15/5 = -4

4 - 5p - 3 = -4

-5p + 1 = -4

-5p = -4 - 1

-5p = -5

p = -5/-5

p = 1

Check:

4 - 5(p + 3/5) = -4

4 - 5(1 + 3/5) = -4

4 - 5 - 15/5 = -4

4 - 5 - 3 = -4

4 - 8 = -4

-4 = -4
