easy one OK. so if jack has a bike that he got for 50 dollars less than the original price so if the bike was 50 dollars less than the original price how much did he pay for the bike. write and equation and solve it.

Aren't you missing some information?

Original price - $50 = what he paid

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation and then solve for the unknown. Let's denote the original price of the bike as "x".

The problem states that Jack paid $50 less than the original price for the bike, so we can express this as x - $50 = the amount Jack paid for the bike.

Now, we need to solve for x, which represents the original price. To do this, we can simply add $50 to both sides of the equation:

x - $50 + $50 = the amount Jack paid for the bike + $50

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x = the amount Jack paid for the bike + $50

So, Jack paid x dollars for the bike, which is the original price plus $50.
