Equation that represents therelationship between the nmber of weeks and total amount of money marcus will have saved is
Y= 5x+42
-5x +y =42
He currently has $42 with planning to save $5 each week. So, $5 per week is the slope and $42 is the y intercept.
I would be interested, they help because they allow you to see how much you can use for whatever it is you need. An example would be how much money you can spend per month to still have enough for your bills
First let's get rid of the parenthesis:
12 - 4x + 3x = 4 + 10 + 2x
Now group the x's on the left and the numbers on the right
-4x + 3x - 2x = 4 + 10 - 12
...and simplify
-3x = 2
divide by -3 to isolate x
x = -2/3
