Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

2(32-12)=40

hope this helps

X = his money
Y = half of his money
X = 2Y & Y = 1/2X

He earned $12 mowing lawn, and that, added to the other half of his money gives $32

As an equation, 32 = Y + 12
So Y = 32 - 12 if we takeaway 12 from both sides.
Therefore, Y = 20 and since X = 2Y, X = 2 x 20 which gives 40
Ken initially had $40
