Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Quan had 15 and Kaden had 3 times as much, then Kaden had 15(3) = 45. If he spent 10 then he had 35 left. The amount of money Quan had after his mom gave him some was 4/5 the amount of Kaden's 35 (let x = the amount of money Quan has after his mom gives him some):
35 divides by the 5 in the denominator 7 times, and 7 times 4 is 28. That's how you get your 28 in part a.
For part b., he started with 15 and ended with 28, so his mom gave him 28-15=13. That's how you get the 13.
I should say that 13, 24, 14 are the next three numbers, because as you can see above the first(11) number is the third(12) number minus 1 and the fourth(23) is the second (22) plus 1 if you understand what I`m trying to say
Plug in x = 7. Then use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify
y = 11 - 5*x
y = 11 - 5*7 .... x has been replaced with 7 (since x = 7 is given)
y = 11 - 35
y = -24
