    Jenny added $150 to her savings account in July. At the end if the month she had $500. How much did she start with?

    Let the starting balance be s. A deposit means we added 150 to s to get 500. We set up this equation below:
    s + 150 = 500

    To solve for s, we type this equation into our search engine and we get:
    s = 350
