Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
No I do not know how to do this
<em>The result is -13</em>

Explanation:</h2><h2 />
Here we have the following addition problem:

So let's solve this step by step:
Step 1. Perform two plus two.

So:

Step 2. Perform the subtraction.
Since the sign (-) accompanies 17 which is greater than 4, then we perform the subtraction and add the sign (-) to the result. So:

<em>Finally, the result is -13</em>
