Question

I needed help on this

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Freda's sum = x

Donnie has 3/4 x

He spends 63 dollars. His sum is now

3/4x - 63

Now the equation looks like this

6(3/4x - 63) = x Remove the brackets

6*3/4 x - 378 =x

6 * 3/4 = 4 1/2

4 1/2 x - 378 = x Add 378 to both sides

4 1/2 x = x + 378 Subtract x from both sides

3.5 x = 378 Divide by 3.5

x = 378 /3.5

x = 108

Since x = 108, that's how much Freda had. (She spent nothing).
