Question

Create an equation and solve. If Jennifer doubled the money that she has in her account now and then took out $50, she would have enough left in her account to buy a new bike that costs $299. Write and solve an equation to determine how much money Jennifer has now.

Answer 1

Answer = $349 before buying the bike

Explanation:

X x 2 - 50 = 299

50+299= 349

X x 2 = 349 x 2

2x =349 x 2

2x = 698

698 divided by 2 = 349
