2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
Answer:
$4.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Jessica made $16 mowing a neighbors yard
She brought a craft kit for $7.37
16-7.37
= 8.63
She used $3.75 to buy food for a food drive
8.63-3.75
= 4.88
Hence the amount Jessica put in the savings account is $4.88
