Adya starts with $60 in her bank account. Each week she earns $20 from her babysitting job and deposits it into her account for each of the next 10 weeks.
Write an equation that represents the relationship between the dollar amount in her bank account and the number of weeks saving.
is the equation y=20x+60 correct?
looks good
Thank you!
Yes, the equation y=20x+60 is correct for representing the relationship between the dollar amount in Adya's bank account (y) and the number of weeks saving (x).
To understand why this equation is correct, let's break it down:
In the equation, "y" represents the dollar amount in Adya's bank account, and "x" represents the number of weeks saving.
The initial amount in Adya's bank account is $60. Since she starts with $60, we need to add this starting amount to the amount she earns each week. This is why we have the constant term of 60 in the equation.
Adya earns $20 each week from her babysitting job. So for every week she saves, she adds $20 to her bank account. This is why we multiply the number of weeks by 20 (the coefficient of x in the equation).
By using this equation, you can now easily calculate how much money Adya will have in her bank account after a certain number of weeks. Just replace x with the desired number of weeks and solve for y.
