Answer: Erin - $104; Angie - $69; Jacob - $23.
(please give me brainlest ❤️)
Step-by-step explanation:
JACOB has least amount of money, so let's say that he has :
x amount of money
ANGIE has 3 times more than jacob:
Angie has 3x
ERIN has $35 more money than Angie:
3x+35
their money together is $196, that means if we add all of their money, it will be equivalent of 196:
3x+35+3x+x=196
now lets find x value.
put all the xes on right side and all known numbers on left side.
i think u know that when it goes to another side it changes sign; for example - makes + and × makes /
3x+35+3x+x=196
7x=161
x=161/7
x=23
now plug x values for each kid:
so Jacob had x=23
Angie had 3x=3×23=69
and Erin had 3x+35=69+35= 104
lets check our answer:
23+69+104=196
196=196
so sum of their money really gives us $196.
