Answer:

a) x + 4 = 48

b) y + 16 = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Michael has $28 and Craig has $24 less than Michael. Let x represent the amount of money that Craig has. Hence:

x = 68 - 24

x + 24 = 68

Given that Michael spends $20 on a new hat. Therefore we subtract 30 from both sides of the equation:

x + 24 - 20 = 68 - 20

x + 4 = 48

x = $44

b) If y represent the amount of money that Craig spent on buying socks. He has 16 remaining.

Therefore:

44 - y = 16

y + 16 = 44

y = $28

= 2 1/2 x 3
= 5/2 x 3
= 15/2 = 7 1/2 inches
