Anthony received $150 for his birthday this year. This was $10 less than half the amount he received last year. How much money did Anthony
receive for his birthday last year? write the equation and answer

Anthony received $320 for his birthday last year.

Explanation:
What we know:
- this year, Anthony got $150
- 150=half the amount he got last year-10

We can create an equation with this information:

Let x be equal to the amount of money Anthony received last year.
150=1/2x-10

And now we solve the equation and isolate x.

150=1/2x-10
Add 10 to both sides
150+10=1/2x-10+10
160=1/2x
Divide both sides by 1/2
160/ 1/2=1/2x / 1/2
160/ 1/2=x
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying its flip
160*2=x
320=x
