Let x=amount that Robert has
\n" ); document.write( "Then Ed has x+100
\n" ); document.write( "So, our equation to solve is:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+100)-20=5x get rid of parens\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+100-20=5x
\n" ); document.write( "x+80=5x subtract x from each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-x+80=5x-x collect like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "80=4x divide each side by 4
\n" ); document.write( "x=20 dollars-------------------amount that Robert has
\n" ); document.write( "x+100=20+100=120 dollars ----amount that Ed has\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "120-20=5*20
\n" ); document.write( "100=100\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps---ptaylor
