Question

Jason’s bank account balance was $300. He paid of his bills. Now, his account balance is -$50. Which equation can be used to find x, the total dollar amount of his bills?

Answer 1

350=x

Explanation:

how it got it was....

300=x-50 for there you would add 50 to both side and it would cancel the -50 and then you get 350=x

Answer 2

The correct answer is x+300=-50

Explanation:

Let's analyze the information we have:

We know that Jason's account balance left -50 as a result.

We know he had $ 300 before.

What we do not know is what is the value you had to pay for your bills, so we will assign an x.

The bills + the money that he already had (300) resulted in -50

So:

X + 300 = -50

X = -50-300

X = -350

The total bills Jason had to pay was $ 350
