Question

Jack has $205, and he is spending $2 each day. Which algebraic expression describes this situation, where d represents the number of days?

Answer 1

205-2d

That's the expression. 205 you start with, every day, you add two, so 2*d is logical.

Answer 2

Answer: The expression would be,

205 - 2d

Explanation:

We have given,

The initial amount Jack has = $ 205,

Also, his spending per day = $ 2,

So, the total spending in x days = 2d dollars,

Hence, the new amount jack has( in dollars)= initial amount - spent amount

= 205 - 2d

Which is the required expression.
