  1. 'the equation y=20x+600 models the amount he has left to pay, where x is the number of weeks'

    x will always have a positive value, and if y is the amount he has LEFT TO PAY, then as time goes on, he will owe an increasing amount, which isn't how it should be.

    Perhaps the equation is y = -20x + 600, which would mean he pays $20 every week?
