Write Algebraic Expression in x

Kim invests $22,000, some in stocks and the rest in bonds.


Let x = amount invested in stocks.


Write an algebraic expression in x for "the amount invested in bonds."

...Why not have an attempt yourself?

$22,000 is spent. x is spent on stocks. Everything that's left over is spent in bonds.

How much is spent in bonds?

Let B = everything that's left over is spent in bonds.

B - (x + 22,000).

She starts with . Then she spends on stocks.

At this point, she has left.

If you let B equal the amount spent on Bonds,

Thank you very much.
