    Todd originally had 64 games; Jaylon had eight.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If Todd has 56 games now, after having given eight games to Jaylon, Todd must have started with 64 games.

    Let x = Jaylon's original games.

    If Todd has 250 % more games than Jaylon, he has 3.5 times as many games as Jaylon.

    Let x = Jaylon's original number of games. Then

    x + 8 = Jaylon's games now

    ∴ 56 = 3.5 (x+8)

    Distribute the 3.5 56 = 3.5x + 28

    Subtract 26 from each side 3.5x = 26

    Divide each side by 3.5 x = 8

    Jaylon originally had eight video games.

    Check:

    64 - 8 = 3.5 (8 + 8)

    56 = 3.5 * 16

    56 = 56
