Eli and Angela are saving money to buy their grandparents an anniversary gift. Eli has saved 8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings. If they each save $10 more. Eli will have saved S4 more than Angela's savings. How much has Eli saved?

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = the amount Angela has saved.

Let e = the amount Eli has saved.

"Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings."

e = a/3 + 8

"If they each save $10 more." then

Eli will have: e + 10

Angela will have a + 10

"Eli will have saved $4 more than Angela's savings."

e + 10 = a + 10 + 4

This equation simplifies to: e = a + 4

We have a system of two equations in two variables.

e = a/3 + 8

e = a + 4

Since both equations are solved for e, we just equate the right sides.

a/3 + 8 = a + 4

Subtract a/3 from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.

a/3 - a/3 + 8 - 4 = a - a/3 + 4 - 4

4 = (2/3)a

Multiply both sides by 3/2

(3/2)4 = (3/2)(2/3)a

6 = a

a = 6

Angela has $6.

e = a + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

Eli has $10.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
