Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 (\frac{1}{2}x - 3 ) = 8$

4 came from the number of people, Donavon, and 3 friends; 1 + 3 = 4

$\frac{1}{2}$ came from the amount they spent on rides; They each spent $\frac{1}{2}$ their money on rides

(-3) came from the amount they spent on food, Then they each spend $3 on food.

8 came from the total amount they had left; Donavon and his three friends have a total of $8 remaining.

4 (  $\frac{1}{2}$x - 3 ) = 8

Distribute;

4 (  $\frac{1}{2}$x - 3 ) = 8

2x - 12 = 8

Inverse operations;

2x - 12= 8

    +12    +12

2x = 20

/2   /2

x = 10
