Question

help me

Answer 1

ok

Answer 2

well we know its subtraction

Answer 3

yea

Answer 4

okay. so if its subtraction-

Answer 5

No you can do it by doing it in reverse add -875 to 2700 and you will get the answer

Answer 6

k

Answer 7

Well another word for assets is funds. Think of $2700 as the total amount of funds/money you had.
If you're in the negatives ($-875) think of the assets getting subtracted by a greater amount. Since we don't know what that amount is that's why we have an "x" in the equation.

Yeah what Kj said😅

Yeah so they add -875 to 2700 to get x right?

Well a positive 875 would work. Not the negative lol.

Answer 12

But we don't have one as a choice I think.

Answer 13

what do i do

Answer 14

You can cancel out C. We already know that's incorrect.

Answer 15

Let's find what x is first. Whats 875 + 2700?

Answer 16

subtract 2700 by (875 + 2700)

Answer 17

3575

Answer 18

875

Answer 19

that means 3575 is x right?

Answer 20

2700 - 3575 = -875

Answer 21

This means that 2700 - x = -875

Answer 22

D

Answer 23

Not quite. We subtracted 2700 by x. Never added.

This gives you the answer A.

Answer 24

Confusion

Answer 25

Tuff.


Well first we tried to find x.

How did we find it?

since -875 was the last result of the equation we know that x is 875 more then 2700.

Answer 26

We don’t add to get -874 we subtract bc we have to add 875 to 2700 to get x and when you get x you subtract 2700 - x and get -875 so that means x is greater then 2700 since you get a negative

Answer 27

Thats why we added 875 to 2700.

Out of the equations, the only correct one was A since subtracting 2700 by x (3575) is -875.

Answer 28

Yeah
