I think the answer is 68.52 ,but idk if i'm correct

Answer 2

$42.18+26.34 = 68.52 looks right.

Answer 3

It was -26.34?

Answer 4

I checked and it said 42.22 if I subtract, i'm confused

Answer 5

You subtract initial balance from final

Answer 6

oops I meant to put a negative sign

Answer 7

for 26.34

Answer 8

Wait, so Jed had a negative balance starting out?

Answer 9

yep

Answer 10

So set the equation as -26.34+(x)=42.18

Answer 11

for you to have a balance greater than 0 you need to go from -26.34 to 0 then from 0 to 42.18. So since he is now in the + from the - he had to replace the missing 26.34 + the amount that he is now in the + with.

Answer 12

So I also get 68.52
