Question

This morning, Elena wrote a check in the amount of $42.50. This brought her balance down to –$14.25. Suppose n represents Elena's balance before she wrote the check??



Which equation can be used to represent this situation?



A.


n – 14.25 = 42.50


B.


n + 42.50 = –14.25


C.


n – 42.50 = –14.25


D.


n – 14.25 = –42.50

Answer 1

i think its b honestly.

Answer 2

But writing a check means taking money out which means the amount sho6uld be add o5r subtract from the total n?

Answer 3

true

Answer 4

So which u think is the right ans now?

Answer 5

think of it this way your starting value N minus a number 42.50 equals a number 14.25 does that help

Answer 6

It Is C

Answer 7

yes thx im working on it now brb..

Answer 8

thx

Answer 9

you guys are awsome

Answer 10

your welcome

Answer 11

i have a notherone

Answer 12

i dont understand it ;( Use transformations to solve the equation.



c – 16 = 41



A.


c = –57


B.


c = –25


C.


c = 25


D.


c = 57

Answer 13

add 16 on the left and right hand side of the eqn n what will u get?

Answer 14

ok hold on

Answer 15

well you should get 0 because it is a negative

Answer 16

c – 16 = 41 then adding 16 on the left n right
c - 16 + 16 = 41 + 16
what will u get now?

Answer 17

;yes

Answer 18

thx

Answer 19

So which is the right ans?

Answer 20

hold on im working it out im close

Answer 21

D

Answer 22

thats what i think it is tha ans

Answer 23

That is correct. Good job! :)

Answer 24

Thx

Answer 25

another?

Answer 26

What is the solution to the equation?



a + (–0.4) = –3

a =

Answer 27

Try this: a + (–0.4) = –3

a + (–0.4) - (-0.4) = –3 - (-0.4)

Answer 28

-2.6

Answer 29

u are the best @MariahDimond and Smart

Answer 30

thx

Answer 31

A=-2.4

Answer 32

Use a transformation to solve the equation.



x – 0.7 = 1.9



A.


x = –2.6


B.


x = –1.2


C.


x = 1.2


D.


x = 2.6

Answer 33

+ 0.7 on left and right. What will u get?

Answer 34

0.7+0.7

Answer 35

x – 0.7+0.7= 1.9+0.7

Answer 36

x – 0.7 = 1.9
x – 0.7 + 0.7 = 1.9 + 0.7

@MariahDimond yes :) good job!

Answer 37

:) THX

Answer 38

X=1.2

Answer 39

What is the solution to the equation?



y – 0.7 = –2.2



y =

Answer 40

y-0.7+0.7=-2.2 0.7

Answer 41

Y=2.9

Answer 42

U are getting the hang of it now @MariahDimond

Answer 43

@sdfgsdfgs Yes i am

Answer 44

Use a transformation to solve the equation.



s – 14.2 = –18.7



A.


s = –32.9


B.


s = –4.5


C.


s = 4.5


D.


s = 32.9

Answer 45

s – 14.2+14.2 = –18.7 +14.2

Answer 46

Looks good - so what is the right ans?

Answer 47

S=32.9

Answer 48

Nope....u forgot there is a - sign in front of 18.7

Answer 49

@sdfgsdfgs now i have english

Answer 50

Wait plz re-do the last one...

Answer 51

ok

Answer 52

Use a transformation to solve the equation.



s – 14.2 = –18.7



A.


s = –32.9


B.


s = –4.5


C.


s = 4.5


D.


s = 32.9

Answer 53

u forgot there is a - sign in front of 18.7

Answer 54

s – 14.2+14.2 =–18.7+14.2

Answer 55

a negative?

Answer 56

dont worry. keep going plz :)

Answer 57

ok

Answer 58

S=32.9

Answer 59

i gtg

Answer 60

It is not right so plz post the last Q again when u are back @MariahDimond

Answer 61

@sdfgsdfgs ok

Answer 62

wait S=-32.9
