b.) Find how much money Paul has in terms of x.
c.) If x = 5, how much money does Paul have?

Answer 1

Explanation:

a=6x

j=a+10=6x+10

p=j-2x=6x+10-2x=4x+10

A) j=6x+10

B) p=4x+10

C) p(5)=4(5)+10=20+10=30

Answer 2

a Adam=6x

b Jimmy=6x+10

c Paul's money= 6x+10-2x

=4x+10

if x=5

Paul's money=4(5)+10

=20+10

=30
