Question

Marlon withdrew $25 from his savings account every week for 5 weeks. Which expression is the best choice to help him determine the total amount of money he withdrew?

(25)(−5) = −125; he withdrew $125
(−25)(5) = −125; he withdrew $125
(−25)(−5) = 125; he withdrew $125
(25)(5) = 125; he withdrew $125

Answer 1

(−25)(5) = −125; he withdrew $125

Explanation:

Marlon withdrew $25 from his savings account every week for 5 weeks. Which expression is the best choice to help him determine the total amount of money he withdrew?

(25)(−5) = −125; he withdrew $125 x

(−25)(5) = −125; he withdrew $125 this because he withdrew so negitive- times x five weeks so (−25)(5) = −125

(−25)(−5) = 125; he withdrew $125 x

(25)(5) = 125; he withdrew $125 x

Answer 2

The second one. If he withdraws money he will be deducting money from his savings account which is the subtraction operator. Weeks cannot be negative. There is no such thing as negative weeks unless we're going back in time.

B is the answer.
