Question

One of Jennifer’s hobbies is playing the saxophone. She goes to the store to buy more reeds for her saxophone since she will be spending more time playing saxophone this year. After spending $20 on reeds, she is left with $90. Which equation best represents this situation?

Answer 1

\[x - 20 = 90\]

Explanation:

The equation that best represents this situation is:

\[x - 20 = 90\]

Where:

- "x" represents Jennifer's initial amount of money (before buying the reeds).

- She spent $20 on reeds, so we subtract that from her initial amount.

- After buying reeds, she has $90 left, which is represented on the right side of the equation.
