Question

Please help it's fricking urgent

Answer 1

Kaden had $17 at first

Explanation:

Ben = x

Kaden = x - 10

x + 4

x - 10 + 4 = x -6

x - 6 =
`(7)/(9)` x

9(x - 6) = 7x

9x - 54 = 7x

2x = 54

x = 27

x - 10 = 27 - 10 = 17

Answer 2

Kaden had $31

Ben had $41

Explanation:

k = b - 10

k + 4 = (7/9)(b+ 4)

Substitute for k = b - 10

(b - 10) + 4 = (7/9)(b+ 4)

b - 6 = (7/9)(b+ 4)

multiply by 9 to clear the fraction

9b - 54 = 7(b + 4)

Distribute

9b - 54 = 7b + 28

subtract 7b from both sides

2b - 54 = 28

Add 54 to both sides

2b = 82

Divide both sides by 2

b = 41

k = b - 10

k = 31
