in a given month, kala earns $701 and owes d dollars in expenses. how much, in dollars, does she have left after paying for her expenses. write and algebraic expression for this
Look at it like this
If you have $10 and you spend $6 you will have $4 left RIGHT? WHY IS THAT?
It is because 10-6=4
Now if the numbers are big or if letters are used instead of numbers, then you still do the same thing!
If you have $10 and you spend x dollars then you will have 10-x dollars left. (see i swapped the 6 for the x)

Now your problem
