Two boys divided $3.36 so that one boy received 12 cents less than three times as much as the other. How was the money divided?

x + y = 3.36 --> the boys are splitting $3.36

x = 3y - .12 --> one boy received $.12 less than 3 times as much as the other

--> substitute the second equation for the x in the first equation

(3y - .12) + y = 3.36 --> combine like terms

4y - .12 = 3.36 --> add .12 to both sides of the equation

4y = 3.48 --> divide both sides by 4

y = .87

the other boy gets $0.87

substitute into x = 3y - 12

x = 3(.87) - .12

x = 2.61 - .12

x = 2.49

the first boy gets $2.49

the answer is x equals 50, this is because the two angles are the same measurements because they are vertical angles. in corresponding angles, vertical angles are two angles with one diagonally above another. those two angles will be the same measurements.

110 - 10 = 100

100 / 2 = 50

x   = 50

110 = 2(50) + 10 = 110

110 = 110
