Well we are making a check of 159.50, so we remove that from the current amount.

638 - 159.50

I don't know what x is but it's there, and we have to have less than or equal to 500 in our account: 
≤5


Combine and: 638 - 159.50 + x  
≤5

anonymous · Answer

638.54 − 159.50 + x ≤ 500; x ≤ $20.96

carolina4567 · Answer

159.50 is being removed from 638.54 and has to be less than or greater to 500

carolina4567 · Answer

638.54 - 159.50 + x ≥ 500; x≥ $20.96
