Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
15x - 24 - 4x = -79
Step 2: Combine like terms
11x - 24 = -79
Step 3: Add 24 to both sides
11x = -55
Step 4: Divide both sides by 11
x = -5
Step 5: Check step
Plug in -5 into the original equation
15(-5) - 24 - 4(-5) = -79
-75 - 24 + 20 = -79
-99 + 20 = -79
-79 = -79

Looks good to me!! Yuh done good.
Think of it this way. Ignore for now that $100 was stolen.
The purchase of the $70 item for $100 cash with $30 change is a perfectly fair purchase. The store received $100 cash, and the store gave $70 worth of merchandise plus $30 cash.There was no loss to the store there.
The fact that $100 in cash was stolen earlier from cash register means the loss is $100. The legitimate transaction does not affect the loss.
If you have a hard time understanding the loss is $100, then think of it this way.
Reverse the order of the two happenings.
A person walked into a store and bought a $70 item with a $100 bill. He received $30 change. So far, there is no loss to the store. Everything is legit.
That customer later came back to the store and stole $100 from the cash register.
Here we see clearly that the loss is exactly $100. It is simply the $100 stolen from the cash register.
