In order to solve this problem, we transform the statements into
algebraic expressions. First, we assign the variables.
Let:
x = Gina’s number
y = Sara’s number
For the first equation, we show that Gina’s number is greater
than Sara’s number by 2. For the second equation, we show that the sum of both
numbers is 68.
<span>(1)
</span>x – y = 2
<span>(2)
</span>x + y = 68
<span>We
add the two expressions, which result in the expression: 2x = 70. Then we
divide 70 by 2 to get the value of x. We then have x = 35. Using the second
equation, we solve for y = 68-35. This gives y = 33. To summarize, Gina’s
number is 35 while Sara’s number is 33.</span>
The answer is x < 5 and x > -13.

Answer:
Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = your original account balance.
You triple your account balance by making a deposit. This means
New account balance = 3 × x = 3x
Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. This means that you have $(3x - 28.5) left.
Now your account is overdrawn by $10.50. This means you have withdrawn beyond what you have in your account. Your new account balance is -$10.5. Therefore,
3x - 28.5 = - 10.5
3x = -10.5 + 28.5 = 18
x = 18/3 = 6
Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6
