Question

. Dillion deposits $150 into his account. One week later, he withdraws $26. Write an addition expression to represent this situation. How much higher or lower is the amount in his account after these two transactions?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Expression = x + 150 +(- 26)$

$124 higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Deposit = \ 150$

$Withdrawal = \ 26$

Required

Represent the situation

Determine how much higher or lower is the remaining amount

Let the initial amount in his account be represented with x

When he deposited, the balance becomes

$Balance = x + 150$

When he withdrew, the balance becomes

$Balance = x + 150 + (-26)$

Hence, the algebraic expression is

$Expression = x + 150 +(- 26)$

Calculating how much higher or lower

$Balance = x + 150 + (-26)$

Open bracket

$Balance = x + 150 -26$

$Balance = x + 124$

Recall that the initial amount in the account is x

The difference between the balance and the x is as follows

$Difference = x + 124 - x$

$Difference = \ 124$

Hence, the account has a higher of $124 after both transactions
