Four brothers received the same amount of money to go to the movies. Each boy spent $16. Afterward, the boys had $48 altogether. Write an equation that represents the amount of money m each brother received.

Equation is: 4(x - 16) = 48

Amount each received = $28

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the foot brothers received the same amount of money to go to the movies.

Let's say they each receive "x" in amount.

Which means total amount is;

x + x + x + x

Now,we are told that each boy spent $16.

Thus,amount left after spending is;

(x - 16) + (x - 16) + (x - 16) + (x - 16) = 4(x - 16)

We are told this amount after spending was $48 altogether. Therefore;

4(x - 16) = 48

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

x - 16 = 48/4

x = 16 + 12

x = $28
