Answer:
1. 9
2.
Explanation:
1. Mara has $640 in her bank account, she withdraws $30 each month. We don't know how many months will she withdraw until 370$. Let's write an expression first:
640 - 30x = 370
Now, subtract both sides by 640 to get -270:
-30x = -270
Last, divide both side by -30:
-30x = 270
x = 9
Now, we know she withdraws $30 for 9 months.
2. 2 + 4(3 - 2) = x
This tells us that we do not know the answer until we solve it.
2 + 4(3 - 2) = x
2 + 12 - 8 = x
6 = x
