Kevin had $15 with him. His mother gave him $10 and his father also gave him some money. After this, he had a total of $37 with him. How much money did his father give him?

Write an equation with a variable and state what the variable represents.

Step One: $25+x=$37 (x equals the money his dad gave him)

Step two: subtract $25 from both sides. You will then have x=$12

Thank you so much!

To solve this problem, we need to use algebra. Let's first set up an equation with a variable.

Let's say the money Kevin's father gave him is represented by the variable, "x".

According to the problem, Kevin initially had $15. His mother gave him $10. After receiving the money from his father, he had a total of $37.

So, the equation can be set up as:

15 + 10 + x = 37

In this equation, "x" represents the amount of money Kevin's father gave him.

To solve for "x", we need to isolate the variable. We can do this by subtracting 15 and 10 from both sides of the equation:

x = 37 - 15 - 10

x = 12

Therefore, Kevin's father gave him $12.
