(a) Write down an equation in x.

Answer 1

a)(4+x) + (4+x) + x= 26

b) x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

pavan=x

brother 1=4+x

brother 2=4+x

brother 1=brother 2

a)

(4+x) + (4+x) + x= 26

b)

(4+x) + (4+x) + x= 26

=> 8+3x=26

take 8 to 26

=>

3x=26-8=18

take 3 to 18 side

x=18/3=6

therefore pavan saves 6$ per month
