What is a word problem for 4x plus 10?

Answer 1

One day, during a well-deserved break from their usual form of mutual recreation,

Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice get to talking, and the discussion turns to the money in

their pockets.

They're astonished to discover that each of them is carrying exactly the same amount

of money. Then, playing mind games with this new-found knowledge, they calculate

that if they put all of their money in one pot in the middle of the bed, and entice Sam

to come join them and toss an additional sawbuck ($10) into the pot, the pot will then

have a cool $98 dollars in it ... enough to call Room Service and order Pizza, wine, and

Chocolate Chip Cookies for everyone.

How much do Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice each have in their pocket now ?
