Question

11. Algebra The total cost of the Fatigato

family's two cars was $71,482. 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

$33,187

Explanation:

Our total is 71,482 so let's set our equation to 71482=_________

Now we have $38,295 for one car, and we will subtract it from the total to find the other car, as there are 2 cars.

Equation:

71482-38295=x OR 71482=38295+x

X is the cost of the second car.
