Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

x+3x+5=101 (Option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires to be solved using the supposition method.

Let Aylen's savings be $x. Therefore, Rich's savings would be $(3x+5). This is because it is mentioned that Rich has $5 more than 3 times the amount of money Aylen has. The sum of the savings is $101. Therefore the sum of the savings of Aylen and Rich is given by:

x + 3x + 5 = 101. Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Solve the equation for x gives x = $24. This is Aylen's share. To calculate Rich's share, simply put x=24 in 3x+5. Thus, Rich's share will be $77.

In short, Rich's share = $77, Alan's share = $24, and this has been calculated using the equation x+3x+5=101 (Option C)!!!
