Translate the following statement to an algebraic expression. Monica had $27 before spending x dollars for a snack. How much money remains? I came up with $27+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let y be the remaining money, so y = 27 - x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so are you saying it would be x-$27? Is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, $27 is the total, so if you do x - 27, you endup with a negative value, the correct is 27 - x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so I had it opposite. OK got it ty Walac..
