Question

This morning, Robyn wrote a check in the amount of $35.80. This brought her balance down to –$18.25. Suppose n represents Robyn's balance before she wrote the check.



Which equation can be used to represent this situation?



A.


n – 18.25 = 35.80


B.


n – 35.80 = –18.25


C.


n + 35.80 = –18.25


D.


n – 18.25 = –35.80

Answer 3

n is the original balance. When we took $35.80 away, we got $18.25. So, the equation must be n-35.8=18.25 :)
