Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine the amount paid to him initially (x)

Analyzing the question, one after the other:

4 less than twice the amount: 2x - 4

Substitute 25 for Amount

Add 4 to both sides

Divide both sides by 2

Hence, he received $14.5 when he first started

dont think so

step-by-step explanation:

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
