Part A

y =($50 - ($23 × 2 + $5)+ $22)

y = $21

Part B

Clay can get his balance to zero by withdrawing or writing another check for $21

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week, Clay had a beginning balance of $50 in his account. He wrote 2 checks for $23 each from his checking account , withdrew another $5, and finally made a deposit of $22.

Part A: Write an expression and your answer to show his final account balance at the end of the week 23 * 2 = 46

Let his final Account Balance = y

y =($50 - ($23 × 2 + $5)+ $22)

y =$72 - $51

y = $21

Part B: Explain in words, what Clay should do to get his account balance to zero?

Clay can get his balance to zero by withdrawing or writing another check for $21

= $21 - $21

= $0

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
