Answer:
$10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount Angela has saved.
Let e = the amount Eli has saved.
"Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings."
e = a/3 + 8
"If they each save $10 more." then
Eli will have: e + 10
Angela will have a + 10
"Eli will have saved $4 more than Angela's savings."
e + 10 = a + 10 + 4
This equation simplifies to: e = a + 4
We have a system of two equations in two variables.
e = a/3 + 8
e = a + 4
Since both equations are solved for e, we just equate the right sides.
a/3 + 8 = a + 4
Subtract a/3 from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.
a/3 - a/3 + 8 - 4 = a - a/3 + 4 - 4
4 = (2/3)a
Multiply both sides by 3/2
(3/2)4 = (3/2)(2/3)a
6 = a
a = 6
Angela has $6.
e = a + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
Eli has $10.
Distribute the negative:

Answer:
x = 5/(a-b+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
ax+3x=bx+5
Collect all the terms that has x:
ax-bx+3x = 5 (Subtracting bx both sides)
Take out the x!
x(a-b+3) =5
Divide (a-b+3) both sides to solve for x
x = 5/(a-b+3)
Hope this helps!
Would really appreicate the brainliest!
Ah, the commutative property.
a + b = b + a
xy = yx
When using the commutative property - a good way to remember it is to think of a community, in which each community member helps one another to a mutual outcome.
Using the commutative property we can rearrange this equation into a more sensical format:
-8.9 + 6.7 - 1.1
6.7 - 1.1 - 8.9
6.7 - 1.1 = 5.6
5.6 - 8.9 = -3.3
