Answer:
Brother's money = $6
Money I have = $18
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:
<em>I have 3 times as much money as my brother:
</em>
Money I have = 3x
Where x is the money that my brother has:
Brother's money = x
<em>Our total is $24
</em>
So, 3x+x =24
Solving for x
3x+x=24
4x =24
x =24/4
x = 6
Replacing with the value of x.
Brother’s money = x = $6
Money i have = 3x =3(6) = $18
1-7
3-21
5-35
7-49
Hope this helps!
If you want to find out what that number is, then let's call it n
n + 3n (Three times the number) + 12 = 32
Simplify
4n + 12 = 32
Subtract 12 from each side
4n = 20
Divide each side by 4
n = 5
