Question

wyatt has (2x-1) one dollar bills and (4x+2) five dollar bills. susan has 3x dollars more than wyatt. find the total amount of money that wyatt has in term of x

Answer 1

This is the concept of algebra, to get the total number of dollars wyatt has we proceed as follows:
Total amount of dollar bills will be given by :
Amount=(2x-1)+5(4x+2)
opening the parenthesis we get
Amount=2x-1+20x+10
putting like terms together we get:
Amount=2x+20x-1+10
=22x+9
thus the total amount of money collected by Wyatt is (22x+9)
