Question

Jason’s bank account balance was $300. He paid of his bills. Now, his account balance is -$50.

Which equation can be used to find x, the total dollar amount of his bills?
a. -1/4x + 300 = -50
b. -1/4x - 300 = -50
c. 1/4x - 300 = -50
d. 1/4x + 300 = -50

Answer 1

7. 1/3 (n+2) = 5

Multiply each side by 3

n+2 5*3

n+2 155

Subtract 2 from each side

n+2-2 15-2

n = 13

8.x = bills

He started with 300 and paid 1/4 of the bills and

ended up with -50

300-114 x =-50

Rearranging the order on the left

-1/4x+300 = -50
