Add 1/4a to both sides
-4= 8/4a-3
Simplify
-4=2a-3
Add 3 to both sides
-1=2a
Divide both sides by 2
-1/2=a
Final answer: a=-1/2
Answer:
Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the dive results in 40 gold coins.
We know that:
Alice: $7,600 Ben: $5,900 Carlos: $1,400.
So they have $ 14900 in total.
Now we will divide that money by 40.

So 1 gold coin costs $ 372.5. Now we will calculate how much they can get for the money they have.

We conclude that:
Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.
