Kent invested $5000 in a retirement plan. He allocated x dollars of the money to a bond account that earns 4% interest per yr and the rest to a traditional account that earns 5% interest per yr.

Write an expression that represents the amount of money invested in the traditional account.

To write an expression representing the amount of money invested in the traditional account, we need to calculate how much of the $5000 Kent allocated to the bond account.

Let's assume that the amount x represents the dollars allocated to the bond account. Since the remaining amount is invested in the traditional account, we can calculate it by subtracting x from the total investment of $5000:

Traditional Account Investment = Total Investment - Bond Account Investment

Traditional Account Investment = $5000 - x

Therefore, the expression representing the amount of money invested in the traditional account is $5000 - x.
