Answer:
She had $150 in the beginning before she bought the swimming items.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the right numbers for the equation but you also times the money she had in total.
The equation is x-3(44)=18
44 is the total for one daughter and you times that by three to get for three duaghters.
Then you multiply -3 and 44 which is -132.
Which would be x-132=18
Now you would move -132 to the other side which would be +132 →x=18+132
x=150
