Question

Can someone help with numbers 15 and 16

Answer 1

15.

I had x before the movie.

x - 13.50 = 26.50

Add 13.50 to both sides of the equation:

x = 40

I had $40 before the movie.

16.

The original balance was x.

x - 161.15 = 423.28

Add 161.15 to both sides:

x = 584.43

The previous balance was $584.43
