Write a subtraction expression and an addition expression to represent Alana’s total profit for two weeks combined.

Answer 1

Answer:

$65 + $(-25) = $40

$65 - $25 = $40

Profit made last week = $65

Profit made this week = - $25

Addition expression for her profit over the two weeks

Last week profit + this week's profit:

Subtraction expression for her profit over the two weeks :

$65 - $25 = $40
