i wrote; g - 25.00 = 176.89
g - 201.89
3) This spring it rained a total of 11.5 inches. This was 3 inches less than last spring. write and solve an equation to find the amount of rain last season.
i wrote: r -3 - 11.5
r: - 14.5

You're right.
However your first equation is confusing. Please use a different letter than O which can be confused with 0.

miles on odometer before = miles on odometer after - miles traveled in between
20186.7 - 62.3 = 20124.4 miles
20186.7 - 62.3 = 20124.4 miles

number 2 is supposed to be positive not negative.
r-3=11.5
r=14.5
thanks for the others though
r-3=11.5
r=14.5
thanks for the others though
