This morning, Elena wrote a check in the amount of $42.50. This brought her balance down to –$14.25. Suppose n represents Elena's balance before she wrote the check.

Which equation can be used to represent this situation?

Question 1 options:

n + 42.50 = –14.25

n – 14.25 = 42.50

n – 42.50 = –14.25

n – 14.25 = –42.50
