Dan received 64 dollars for his birthday. He went to a sporting goods store
and bought a baseball glove, baseball, and bat. He had 31 dollars left over,
how much did he spent on the baseball gear?

He started with a total of $64 and $31 remained after his expenses.

We can create an Algebraic equation to represent the scenario. The variable “x” is equal to how much of his birthday money he spent.

64-x=31 [Equation]

64-64-x=31-64 [Subtract 64 from both sides to cancel it out and isolate x]

-x=-33 [Simplification after subtraction]

-x/-1=-33/-1 [Divide by -1 on both sides to cancel it out and solve for x]

x=33 [Defined Variable]

*Recall that “x” is equal to his expenses.

Therefore, Dan spent $33 of his $64.

We can check this because 64-33=31.
