h − 512 = 334
h minus 5 and one-half equals 3 and three-fourths
h − 334 = 512
h minus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half
h + 512 = 334
h plus 5 and one-half equals 3 and three-fourths
h + 334 = 512
h minus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half

Due to excessive heat, the water level in a dam decreased by 8.8 meters last month. Now, the water level is 95.3 meters. Which equation represents the water level, w , of the dam last month? What was the water level last month?(1 point)
Responses
w + 8.8 = 95.3; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.
w plus 8.8 equals 95.3 ; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.
w + 95.3 = 8.8; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.
w plus 95.3 equals 8.8 ; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.
w − 8.8 = 95.3; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.
w minus 8.8 equals 95.3 ; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.
w − 95.3 = 8.8; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.
