Answer 1

The amount of money seren had will be $132.

what is a linear equation?

It is defined as the linear relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

Given that:-

• Seren and Visala had a combined total of $180
• Seren then gave Visala $20, and then Visala gave Seren a quarter of the money Visala had.
• After this, they each had the same amount.

The solution will be done by making an equation:-

According to the first condition:-

S    +    V   =    $180

Now from the second condition:-

S   -   20   +   { ( v  +  20 ) / 4 ) }  =  180

Since   S   =   v  then:-

S   -    20   +    { ( S  +  20 ) / 4 ) } = 180

S  =   $132

Therefore the amount of money seren had will be $132.
