Question

Natasha had d dollars. She bought 2 ice creams which cost x dollars each. How much money does she have left?

Answer 1

d-2x

Explanation:

d is the amount of dollars she had, 2x is the amount of money she used to buy ice creams.

Answer 2

We can write an equation to resemble the problem.

We can write "2x" since she bought 2 ice creams and the price of each is unknown.

We can subtract that by "d" to find how much money she has left.

Put everything together.

2x - d

Best of Luck!
