Question

There are 6 quarters in a jar. Jill adds 2 quarters to the jar every day. Which linear equation represents the total amount of quarters in the jar after x days? A. 6y = 2x B. y = 6x + 2 C. y=16x+2 D. y = 2x + 6

Answer 1

Given: Say 6Q = 6 quarters in a jar 2Q is added everyday After X days, Amount of quarters = 6Q + (2Q * X) So answer would be: D) which is y = 2x + 6

Answer 2

Answer:

D. y = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of quarters that there´s in the jar is expressed by the letter "Y".

We know the jar had already 6 quarters.

Jill adds 2 quarters to the jar everyday, the number of days Jill does this will be represented by the letter "X", because it´s our variable.

What remains constant is that we started with 6 quarters and Jill deposits 2 more every day

Number of quarters in the jar "Y"= (Number of quarters deposited) 2*(number of days)X + (Number of quarters already in the jar) 6.

Y= 2x+6
