Answer 1

The combined balance of bank account is B = 4,204.

The expense on the fence is E = 2,424.

The equation for the cost of fence (c) is,

`\begin{gathered} c+E=B \\ c+2424=4204 \end{gathered}`

Solve the equation for the variable c.

`\begin{gathered} c+2424=4204 \\ c=4204-2424 \\ =1780 \end{gathered}`

Equation: c + 2424 = 4204

Answer: $1780
