Question

Kyle gets a set allowance each week.Every week he spent five dollars on comic books and put the rest in his savings account. After eight weeks he has 56 in the bank. How much does he get for an allowance each week

Answer 1

8x+(8X5)=56
8x+40=56
Subtract 40 from both sides
8x=16
Divide by 8 on both sides
x=4 + the $5 he uses for comic books so he gets $9
