Aiden has 8 times as many games as Will. If Will had 168 more games, the two boys would have exactly the same amount. How many games does Aiden have?
Let Aiden have \(x\) games, and so then Will has \(\frac{x}{8}\). We then have the equation
\(x=\frac{x}{8}+168\)
Moving the \(\frac{x}{8}\) to the left, the equation turns into
\(\frac{7x}{8}=168\)
Therefore, Aiden has \(x=192\) games.
