I think the answer is letter c
16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
Let's first convert that amount of money into cents, which makes 336 cents. Then, let's denote the amount of money one of the boys has with x. The other boy has got 3x-12 amount of money. We can construct an equation.
. Solving it we find that x=87 cents or $ 0.87 and the other boy holds $2.49 amount of money.
