$65.00 - $82.00 = -$17
His account is overdrawn by $17.
This translates to "a number" is greater than 45. All you have to do now is translate these words into an algebraic statement. Basically, you replace "a number" with the variable which it is defined for, and you use the "greater than" symbol to show that the variable is greater than the value of 45.
This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
Substract '-3.4x' at LHS nad the RHS of the above expression.
Add '4' on both LHS and RHs of the above expression.
