I REALLY NEED THIS !!! ITS AN EMERGENCYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! GIVING 25 POINTS

When she first purchased it, Soledad's computer had 500 GB of hard drive space. After six months, there were only 380 GB available. Enter and solve an equation to find the amount of hard drive space that Soledad used in the first six months. Use 's' as your variable.

Answer 1

Answer:220GB

Step-by-step explanation: 500-s=380

Answer 2

Given, Soledad's computer had 500 GB of hard drive space and there were only 380 GB left after she used it. Let Soledad used x GB of hard drive space in six months. therefore

500 - x = 380

In order to solve this problem, we need to follow certain steps such as:
(a) As the first step, lets try to gather all the variable-related members in one side of the equation. In this case there is only one variable, so no need for this.

500 - x = 380

(b) Now lets eliminate 500 from the left side of equation

-x + 500 - 500 = 380-500 x = 87

Therefore. Soledad used 120 GB of hard drive space in six months.
