Question

The total cost of the fatigato family's two cars was $71,48. The cost of one car was $38,295. Write an equation using a variable to represent the cost of the family's other car

Answer 1

$71,48(?)-$38,295=x

"x" is the missing variable.

Answer 2

x + 38,295 = 71,480

Explanation:

The total cost of the Fatigato family's two cars was = $71,480

The cost of one car was = $38,295

Let the cost of other car be x

an equation using a variable to represent the cost of the family's other car would be

x + 38,295 = 71,480

x = 71,480 - 38295
