Answer:
The required equation is: [tex]x+1+4x=76[/tex] or [tex]5x+1=76[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information,
Laci and Leon are saving money to go to an amusement park. Laci has $1 more than 4 times the amount of money Leon has. Together, they have $76.
Let the amount of money Leon has is x.
Therefore, Laci has [tex]1+4x[/tex]
Together they have $76.
Therefore the required equation is: [tex]x+1+4x=76[/tex]
[tex]5x+1=76[/tex]
[tex]5x=76-1[/tex]
[tex]5x=75[/tex]
[tex]x=15[/tex]
Hence, Leon has $15.
Therefore, Laci has [tex]1+4(15)=61[/tex]
Laci has $61.
