Question

Marlee had a certain amount of money (x) in her bank

account. She deposited $60.00 from her grandmother
for her birthday. She then spent of the money in her account on rent that totaled $550. Which equation represents this situation?

Answer 1

x-490=t

Explanation:

Marlee has x money

She deposited $60 meaning adding $60 to the bank

So x+60

THen Marlee need to withdraw $550 from her bank to rent

So the equation is now

x+60-550

60-550 is -490

Thus:

x-490

(I will represent (t) as the money she has left for the equation)

Thus the equation is

x-490=t

Hope this helps!
