Question 670464: If I have 4 times as many coins than my friend and together the total # of coins is 35, how many coins do I have

Let x= number of coins your friend has. 4x= number of coins you have.
You add them together to get the equation 5x=35. Divide 5 by both sides and get x=7. Plug "7" into your equation 4(7)=28. 28 +7=35. You have 28 coins.
