Algebra.Com's Answer #815935 by 54929(12)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let Daniel has x dollars\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After spending $2200 of his savings on an iPad, Daniel spent 1/4 of his remaining savings on a hoverboard\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now he has 1/5 of his savings\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so we can write\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-2200-1/4(x-2200)=1/5x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 20\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20(x-2200-1/4(x-2200))=20(1/5x)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20x-44000-20 * 1/4(x-2200)=4x \n" ); document.write( "20x-44000-5(x-2200)=4x \n" ); document.write( "20x-44000-5x+11000=4x \n" ); document.write( "15x-44000+11000=4x \n" ); document.write( "15x-33000=4x \n" ); document.write( "add 33000 to both sides\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15x=4x+33000 \n" ); document.write( "subtract both sides by 4x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15x-4x=33000 \n" ); document.write( "11x=33000\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 11\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 33000 รท 11 = x = 3000 \n" ); document.write( "initially, Daniel had $3000. \n" ); document.write( " |
