\n" ); document.write( "Kaden had 1/4 as mush as Ryan:
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amount Kaden had
\n" ); document.write( "then 4x = amount Ryan had

\n" ); document.write( "Ryan had $120 more than Kaden:
\n" ); document.write( "4x = x+120
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40

\n" ); document.write( "Kaden had x = $40; Ryan had 4x = $160. That's a total of $200.

\n" ); document.write( "The two of them spent a total of $170; the amount they had left was $30.

\n" ); document.write( "In the end, Kaden had 2/3 as much as Ryan:
\n" ); document.write( "let 2x = amount Kaden had at the end
\n" ); document.write( "let 3x = amount Ryan had at the end
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6

\n" ); document.write( "Kaden finished with 2x = $12; Ryan finished with 3x = $18.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS:
\n" ); document.write( "A) $30
\n" ); document.write( "B) $12

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
