Question

At the start of the week, Ladasha's checking account had

a balance of $34. She deposited $50 each day for three
days. She made a $60 withdrawal on the fourth day.
Ladasha also wrote a check for $22. Explain how you
can write an expression to show the account balance at
the end of the week.

Answer 1

I think its:

34 + (50 × 3) - 60 - 22

Answer 2

The account started at $34. Three $50 credits were added. Indicate the withdrawal by subtracting $60 or adding –$60. The check is also represented by subtracting $22 or by taking the additive inverse and adding –$22.
