PLEASE HELP!!!!

Terrance says, “$1000 plus 5 times the amount of money I have is the same as 3 times the amount of money I have.”Bella says, “You are in debt.”Cara says, “You have $500 in savings.”

Do you agree with Bella or Cara or do you disagree with both of them?

Answer:

I agree with Bella cause her name is cute lol

and also because;

let the money Terrance have is X

then according to question;

1000 + 5X = 3X

1000 = 3X - 5X

1000 = -2X

X = -500

which means Terrance is in debt. so yeah Bella is right.
