Question Posted Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:17 pm

i need help with one math problem on my homework:

Mr. Alvarez withdrew from his saving account $25 per week for each of 8 weeks. He then had $1,623 in his account. How much did he have in his account before he made these withdrawals?

Additional info, added Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:18 pm:
it needs to be an equation with x in it.

25 times 8=X
x plus 1623=y


y=begining amount'

(x=200 y=1823)

well ok to find the totaly he withdrew you'd do 25 times 8= X and to solve for X youd times 25 times 8 which is 200. So now you just add 1,623 to 200 to write this equation you'd write 1,623+200=x and the answer is 1823. Well at lease that's what i got. HOPE I HELPED!! btw if ya need any more help please ask me cause i hated math when i didn't understand it atll.

p.s her are some ways to write that problem...

25(8)+1623=X

25(8)=X X+1623=n

btw when there's a number in () next to another number it means to multiply. once again HOPE I HELPED!

ok, there were 8 weeks, so you have to multiply 8 times $25, which comes out to be 200. So, he took 200 dollars from his acount, and had $1,623 left right? So, add the 200 to the 1,623 and theres your answer.Here is the equation:

25(8)+1,623= X

X is the answer to the problem. I'm pretty sure this is correct, let me know if it is or not when you find the answer.

Do 25 over one equals $1623 over x. Then it goes 25x = 1623, then divide each side by 25 and youll get your answer x = whatever. sorry but i dont wanna do your homework for you just use a calculator and i gave you the rest !

k hun thanks bye.

Hiya! I believe it would be 1,823 dollars. If you take away 25 for 8 weeks thats 200 dollars. add 200 to the amount after the withdrawels and there u go!

Hope it helped

sbloemeke answered Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:22 pm:
Well, you don't know how much he initially had, right? So, assign that "X". He subtracts $25 for 8 weeks. That's from the initial value of x. So, it's X-25(8). After that was done, he had $1623 left in his account. That is the result of the operation. X-25(8)=1623. That's the hard part.
After that, it's simply algebrea. X-400=1623, and add 400 to both sides to get 2023.

If you need any more help on math, I am in precalculus. :)
