Answer 1

Hello!

The equation that can be used to determine the number of dollars William has left at the end of 5 days is D. 50 - 2(5) = d

Think about it. We will have to multiply the $2 he spent everyday by the 5 days, and then we'll have to SUBTRACT that to find how much money he has left at the end.

Have a great day!
