Larry borrowed $12,000 from his grandfather to buy a car. He bought a used car, so, he returned $4,411 to his grandfather. Write and solve an equation using integers that shows the total amount that Larry owes his grandfather.

Thank you so much! This helped a lot and I finally got the right answer! Hehehehe :)

12,000 - 4,411 = x

WOAH THERE

OH SNAP...bye!

To find the total amount that Larry owes his grandfather, we need to subtract the amount he returned from the total amount he borrowed.

Let's start by writing an equation using integers to represent these amounts.

Total amount borrowed = Amount returned + Amount still owed

Let's assign variables to the unknowns:
Let x be the total amount borrowed.
Let y be the amount returned to his grandfather.

We know that Larry borrowed $12,000 (x) and returned $4,411 (y), so we can set up the equation:

x = y + (Amount still owed)

Substitute the given values:
$12,000 = $4,411 + (Amount still owed)

To find the amount still owed, we can subtract $4,411 from both sides of the equation:

$12,000 - $4,411 = (Amount still owed)

Simplifying, we get:
$7,589 = (Amount still owed)

Therefore, the total amount that Larry owes his grandfather is $7,589.
