Step-by-step explanation:

All these amount of money are based on Dan's initial amount, which is x. Ben had 7 more than Dan, so Ben's amount of money is x + 7. Kaden has 4 more than Ben, so Kaden's amount of money is 4 + (x + 7) which is x + 11. So here's the breakdown so far:

Dan: x

Ben: x + 7

Kaden: x + 11

Now it looks like Kaden is the favorite and got another 20 from his mom, so his amount became x + 31. After Dan spends a dollar, making his amount x - 1, Kaden had 9 times what Dan had. Now we have finally:

x + 31 = 9(x - 1) and

x + 31 = 9x - 9 and

40 = 8x so

x = 5.

Dan originally had $5, Ben originally had $12, and Kaden originally had $16

step-by-step explanation:

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
