Answer:

[tex]Expression = x + 150 +(- 26)[/tex]

$124 higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Deposit = \$150[/tex]

[tex]Withdrawal = \$26[/tex]

Required

Represent the situation

Determine how much higher or lower is the remaining amount

Let the initial amount in his account be represented with x

When he deposited, the balance becomes

[tex]Balance = x + 150[/tex]

When he withdrew, the balance becomes

[tex]Balance = x + 150 + (-26)[/tex]

Hence, the algebraic expression is

[tex]Expression = x + 150 +(- 26)[/tex]

Calculating how much higher or lower

[tex]Balance = x + 150 + (-26)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]Balance = x + 150 -26[/tex]

[tex]Balance = x + 124[/tex]

Recall that the initial amount in the account is x

The difference between the balance and the x is as follows

[tex]Difference = x + 124 - x[/tex]

[tex]Difference = \$124[/tex]

Hence, the account has a higher of $124 after both transactions
