Please help I don’t understand this!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 4x + 1 = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Leon's amount

y = Laci's amount

"Laci has $1 more than 4 times Leon"

i.e  y = 1 + 4x ----------------(1)

"together they have $76

i.e x + y = 76 ----------------(2)

if you take equation (1), and substitute for the value of y in equation (2):

equation (2) becomes:

x + (1 + 4x) = 76

or

x + 4x + 1 = 76 (answer)
