Define a variable and write each phrase as an algebraic expression
Four times more money than Elliot saved
Half as many pages as George read
The width of a box that is 4 inches less than the length
The cost of 5 CD’s and a $12 DVD

y = 4x

(x = Elliot's money, y = yours)

y = 1/2x

(y = how many pages you read, x = George's amount of pages)

w = l - 4

(w = width, l = length)

5c + 12 = p

(c = cd, p = price)

*note I used a constant since it clearly said 12$

:)

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14
