Answer 1

Answer:

Hey There!! The answer to this is: 32+10x-(21+12x) We are given that:

Amount MIkayla has in here piggy bank initially = $32

Money earned by Mikayla per week = $10

Money earned by Mikayla in x weeks = 10x

Total money MIkayla has after x weeks = 32+10x

Amount Jessica has in here piggy bank initially = $21

Money earned by Jessica per week = $12

Money earned by Jessica in x weeks = 12x

Total money Jessica has after x weeks = 21+12x

Comparing,

In order to compare, we subtract the money earned by Jessica from that earned by MIkalya,

The final expression would be:

32+10x-(21+12x
