Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: 178 - x = - 62

Explanation:

Start of the wee: 178

One withdrawal: x

End of the week: -62

178 - x = -62

Simplify both sides of equation

178−x=−62

178+−x=−62

−x+178=−62

Subtract 178 from both sides

−x+178−178=−62−178

−x=−240

Divide both sides by -1

-x / -1 = -240 / -1

x=240
