Anitha and Jyothi shared some money. Anitha had $4x and Jyothi had $(2x + 8).
Both of them had $56 altogether. Find the value of x and hence find out how much
did Jyothi get?

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin we need to form an equation that equals the total amount of money, which is 56. The question tells us that Anitha's money and Jyothi's money comes to a sum of $56 (the total amount). So, in our equation we will be doing Anitha + Jyothi = 56; our equation will be 4x+2x+8=56.

The next step is to rearrange the equation to get x=..., and we can do this using the funnel method like I have shown in the attached image. First, I simplified to get 6x+8=56. Then, I subtracted 8 from both sides to get 6x=48. Finally, I divided by 6 on both sides to get x=8. This is the first step of the question completed.

The finish the question, we need to work out Jyothi's total money, and since we now know x=8, all we need to do is substitute 8 where x is for Jyothi. So, we need to calculate the answer to 2*8+8, and following the rules of BIDMAS, we get 24. Which is the final answer.

4x + 2x + 8 = 56
6x + 8 = 56
6x = 56- 8
6x= 48
x = 48/6
x = 8

Jyothi = 2x + 8 = 2 x 8+8= $24
