Question

PLEASE HELP DUE SOON!!!

Jordan is mowing lawns to save money for the Camp Rodeo Field Trip. The total cost for the excursions, travel, and food will be $130. Jordan has already saved $50. Which of the following equations represents how much more money Jordan needs to save in order to go on the field trip?

A. x + 50 = 130

B. x - 50 = 130

C. x - 130 = 50

D. x = 50 + 130

Answer 1

X + 50 = 130

Explanation:

This is actually a subtraction equation although addition is how you set it up initially. X is the variable. You already have $50. You need $130.

To solve, subtract 50 from each side,

X + 50 - 50 = 130 - 50, and simplify,

X = 120.

Jordan will need $120 more to go to the Camp Rodeo Field Trip.

Hope this helps.
