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
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)
