Answer:
Explanation:
A) Cost of canvas = $ x
Cost of 4 canvases = 4 *x = 4x
Money left over after buying 4 canvases = $2.20
Equation: 25 - 4x = 2.2
Solution: Subtract 25 from both sides
-4x = 2.2 - 25
-4x = - 22.8
Divide both sides by (-4)
-4x/-4 = -22.8/-4
x = 5.7
B) Money in Molly's account= x
4 times of Molly's account = 4x
Equation: 4x - 2.2 = 25
Solution: 4x = 25 +2.2
4x = 27.2
x = 27.2/4
x = 6.8
