Answer:

y = $ x/3

Explanation:

Let the amount of dollars in Teo's bank on Tuesday be $x and the amount in his bank on Friday be $y.

If the number of dollars in Teo's bank account on Tuesday was 3 times as

much as the amount on Friday, this can be represented mathematically as;

x = 3y where y is the amount in his bank on Friday.

The amount of dollars in his account on friday will be gotten by dividing both sides of the equation by 3

3y = x

3y/3 = x/3

y = x/3

Hence the amount of dollars in his account on Friday is y = $ x/3
