Either you are talking about a computer programming language construct or you are missing a symbol (probably an x or y) between the + and the =.If it’s an algebra problem along the lines of $1.97+y=5.00 then y=$3.03.If it’s a computer programming thing, then it’s probably 6.97 you’re looking for. But that would be weird since the dollar sign is usually a reserved symbol for a variable. If it is, then in this case, taken literally you’d be telling it to take whatever value is in a variable named “1.97” and add five to it and assign that new value to the variable “1.97”. So if $1.97 currently equals 4, then it will equal 9 after the operation.But I don’t know of any programming language that would let you have a variable name with a dot in it, nor do I know of any that would let you name a variable with no alphabetic characters. So I’m pretty certain you’ve dropped a letter from between the + and the = and that whatever letter that is, it’s equal to $3.03....
