Answer:

Jane have $25

Frank have $100

Scott have $19

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount that each have, we have to represent this information in a mathematical format  and then solve

let x represent represent the amount that Jane has

let Y represent represent the amount that Frank has

let z represent represent the amount that Scott has

From the question given, "Jane, Scott, and Frank have a total of $144"  can be represented mathematically as

x + y + z = $144 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

"Frank has 4 times what Jane has"   can be represented mathematically as

y = 4x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)

"Scott has $6 less than Jane"  can be represented mathematically as

z= x- 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)

we can now solve the equations using the substitution method

substitute equation (2)  and (3)  into equation (1)

x + y + z = $144

x + 4x + x-6 = $144

6x -6 = $144

add 6 to both-side of the equation

6x - 6 + 6 = $144 + 6

6x =$150

Divide both-side of the equation by 6

6x/6 = 150/6

x = $25

from equation 2

y = 4x

substitute x= $25 in equation (2)

y = 4 (25)

y = $100

substitute x=$25 in equation  (3)

z = x- 6

z = 25 - 6

z=$19

Jane have $25

Frank have $100

Scott have $19

Find x - y subtracted from 0
alexandr1967 [171]
The expression you want to simplify is 0-(x-y).
0-(x-y)
=-(x-y)
=-x+y

You just have to treat the negative sign in front of (x-y) as a -1 and distribute it to both x and -y.
