Answer:
First of all this question makes no complate sense if this was in real life. But the answer is: Allen is 23 years old and Jim woukd be 12 1/2 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 20+3=23. That's because it said in 3 years. Tthen we divide by 2 to find Jim's age. That's because it said that in three years, Allen would be twice as old as Jim.
Total was x
subtract 36.25 amount of money and you have -14.75 left
You can write this
x - 36.25 = -14.75
add 36.25 to both sides
x = -14.75 + 36.25
Solve by combining like terms
x = 21.5
You had $21.5 on your account before you withdrew $36.25 and had a balance of -$14.75 left.
Hope this helps!
