Question

Cameron wants to buy a skateboard. he has $89, Which is $17 more than he needs. Which equation can be used to determine how much the skateboard costs

Answer 1

89-17

Explanation:

To find how much Cameron’s skateboard costs you need to take away 17 from your starting amount as you have more. Meaning we subtract the 17 to find how much the skateboard costs.

Answer 2

The answer to this question is $72. The equation is x + 17 = 89

Explanation:

Equation: x + 17 = 89

Cameron has $89 so 89 would go behind the equal sign.

He has 17 dollars more than he needs. Whenever more is used that usually indicates that it will be a plus sign. So we will do + 17 = 89.

Finally we need to add the x to complete the equation. This will be shown as x + 17 = 89.

If you solve this equation it will equal x = 72.
