Question

Maryland had $(62xsquared + x - 4) on mondays she spent $(11x squared - 33) on a pair of gloves how much money did she have left? Give the answer as an expression and explain. Please help me

Answer 1

Answer:

$( 51x^2 + x + 29).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount she had left = original amount - amount spent on the gloves

=  62x^2 + x - 4 - (11x^2 - 33)   (note we place the amount spent on gloves in parentheses because we have to subtract the whole amount)

Now we distribute the negative over the parentheses:

= 62x^2 + x - 4 - 11x^2 + 33     ( note - 33 becomes -33*-1 = +33)

Now simplifying like terms:

= 51x^2 + x + 29  (answer).
