equation to determine how much money they have together

Answer 1

The required equation is:
`x+1+4x=76` or
`5x+1=76`

Explanation:

Consider the provided information,

Laci and Leon are saving money to go to an amusement park. Laci has $1 more than 4 times the amount of money Leon has. Together, they have $76.

Let the amount of money Leon has is x.

Therefore, Laci has
`1+4x`

Together they have $76.

Therefore the required equation is:
`x+1+4x=76`

`5x+1=76`

`5x=76-1`

`5x=75`

`x=15`

Hence, Leon has $15.

Therefore, Laci has
`1+4(15)=61`

Laci has $61.
