    x = $3,521

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the amount of money that she put towards a house be represented by the variable x

    Hence,

    total savings = amount put towards house + amount left

    $40,000 = x + $36,479 (rearrange)

    x + $36,479 = $40,000 (subtract $36,479 from both sides)

    x = $40,000 - $36,479

    x = $3,521
