Explanation:

Jeremy wants to save $130 to buy a bird bath.

He has already saved the amount = $89.00

Let the amount that Jeremy need to save for bird bath = x dollars

The equation that represent the amount that Jeremy need to save would be

89 + x = 130

x = 130 - 89

x = 41 dollars

Jeremy needs to save $41.00
