+11 Jake made a depoist of $54 to bring the balance in his acound to $26.
22. Let a respent the orginal amount in Jake's account. Write a equation to model the bank's transaction.
23. Find the ogrinal amount in Jake's account.
+1253 Well, if he added 54 to get 26, that turns into an equation with one variable, which you specified as \(a\)
He added 54 to get 26, so \(a+54=26\)
Subtract 54 from both sides to get \(a+54-54=26-54\) , or simply \(a=-28\) .
Therefore
22. \(a+54=26\)
23. \($-28\)
You are very welcome!
