You can put this solution on YOUR website!
B + 150 = 5B
Subtract B from each side
150 = 4B
Divide each side by 4
37.5 = B
.
Let's make sure that works.
"If Bob had $150 more in his savings account" 37.5 + 150 = 187.5
"he would have five times as much saved as he currently has in this account" 37.5 * 5 = 187.5
Success!
