Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:-

Given that:-

Ahmad and Daryl had equal amount of money

Ahmad's father gave $ 180, Daryl spent $ 254

Ahmad then has 4 times as much as Daryl.

Concept:-

Linear equations and cases

Let's Do!

Let the amount of money which Ahmad and Daryl had be x.

So, next step is ;-

Ahmad has money (x+180)

Daryl has money (x-254)

So, the equation is :-

$\rm{x+180 = 4(x-254)}$

$\rm{x+180 = 4x-1016}$

$\rm{1016+180 = 4x-x}$

$\rm{3x = 1196}$

$\rm{x = \dfrac{1196}{3}}$

$\rm{x = 398.66 \ Dollar}$

So, $ 398.66 is the required sum they had earlier.
