Question

My friend needs help on the question and I don’t get it, please help

Answer 1

It’s 15
4+(2/3)+x=29
4+2/3x+3/3x=29
4+5/3x=29
5/3x=29-4=25
5/3x=25
(5/3x) divided by (5/3)=25 divided by (5/3)
x=15

Answer 2

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack has saved $4 more than 2/3 as much as Shelly

j = (2/3)s + 4

Total of 29.00

s + j = 29

Substitute for j

s + (2/3)s + 4 = 29

Subtract 4 from both sides

s + (2/3)s = 25

Combine like terms

(5/3)s = 25

multiply both sides by 3/5

s = 15
