<PRE><B>Question 1140709</B>
&lt;br&gt;
In the beginning, Luke had 22 more than Mike:&lt;br&gt;
let x = # Mike has to start
then x+22 = # Luke has to start&lt;br&gt;
Then Mike gave Luke 13; so Luke has 13 more than before and Mike has 13 less:&lt;br&gt;
(x+22)+13 = x+35 = # Luke now has
x-13 = # Mike now has&lt;br&gt;
Now Luke has 4 times as many as Mike:&lt;br&gt;
{{{x+35 = 4(x-13)}}}&lt;br&gt;
