a)20(5)+225=
b)225(5)−20=
c)22520+5=
d)225−20(5)=
.How much money, d, will Elena have in her account after 7 weeks?

Answer 1

Answer:

the equation to use would be D (255-20(5) = ?). To solve, first multiply 20 and 5 and you would get 100 so the equation would be 255 - 100 = ? Then you would subtract 100 from the 255 to get $155 left. To solve for 7 weeks you would replace the 5 in the equation with 7 so your equation would be 255 - 20(7) = ? Next you would multiply 20 and 7 to get 140. the equation would then be 255 - 140 = ? Subtract 140 from 255 and you would get 115. So after 7 weeks she would have $115 left in her account.
