Lamar Haney · Answer 1

They give you the whole entire worth of the cage and it 30. so I believe it is s + 18.50 = 30

Worked out

s + 18.50 = 30

-18.50. 18.50

s = 11.50

Dane Lane · Answer 2

Let x=amount of money she will need to save

18.50+x=30

If you need to solve:

Subtract 18.5 from both sides

x=11.5
