Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the amount of money Daniel spent.

Tracy spent $38 less than 3 times what Daniel spent.

Daniel spent = $x

3 times what Daniel spent = $3x

$38 less than 3 times what Daniel spent = $(3x-38)

So,

Tracy spent = $(3x-38)

If Tracy spent $10, then

[tex]3x-38=10\\ \\3x-38+38=10+38\ [\text{Add 38}]\\ \\3x=48\\ \\x=16\ [\text{Divide by 3}][/tex]

Hence, Daniel spent $16

Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

x is how much daniel spent and tracy spent 10 which is 38 less that 3 times what daniel did. so you write the equation as 3x-38=10 because x is daniels spendage but times 3 so it is 3x- 38 because it says LESS so that is the que to subtract and it =10 because that is how much tracy spent.
