Question

Write an algebraic expression to answer the question below.

In a given month, Kala earns d dollars and owes $522 in expenses. How much, in dollars, does she have left after paying for expenses?

Answer 1

The amount of money that she will have left is going to be the amount of money she earned, minus $522. How can you represent this, if we know that the amount of money she earned is equal to d?

Answer 2

so...its d-522?

Answer 3

You can just simply subtract the amount of dollars (d) by the amount of expenses ($522). That would give you the remaining amount of money.

So the algebraic expression would be:
d-$522=x

Answer 4

Yes that is right.

Answer 5

yay :)
