Question

You want to buy a new computer that costs $2250. You check your savings-account balance and realize that to buy the computer, you will need $125 more than what you have in your savings account. How much money do you have in your savings account?

Answer 1

x + 125 = 2250 OR x = 2250 - 125

Explanation:

Where x is the amount of money you have in your savings account. To solve for x, you can subtract 125 from both sides:

x = 2250 - 125

x = 2125

Therefore, you have $2125 in your savings account.

Hope this helps :)
