Question

i can solve real-world equations.

1. micah and his brother found some cash at

a bus stop. they split the money evenly, each
getting $16. how much money did they find?

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable

Let \( x \) be the total amount of money they found.

Step2: Set up the equation

Since there are two people (Micah and his brother) and they split the money evenly, each getting $16, we can write the equation \( \frac{x}{2}=16 \).

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2: \( x = 16\times2 \).
Calculate the right - hand side: \( 16\times2 = 32 \).

Answer:

They found $32.
