Question

Brenda has $43 in the bank. Each month the bank deducts $5 from her account for a service fee.

Which equation represents the dollar amount, d, in her account after m months?

d = 43 - 5m
d = 43m - 5
d = 5m - 43
d = 5 - 43m

Answer 1

d=5m-43
Because 5 is the number changing

Answer 2

D=43-5m
After a month
D=43-5×1
D=38 remains in the account
