He adds 40 per month. Let x represent months: so every x, he gets 40. With 2 x, he gets 80: so we multiply 40 and x and add that to his starting number.
150 + 40x
And let's represent his end amount of money with y, and set it equal.
<h3>(1136+1272)-(1138+{-1250})</h3><h3>=2408-(-112)</h3><h3>=2408+112</h3><h3>=2520</h3><h3>the answer is 2520</h3><h2 /><h2 /><h2>hope it helped :-)</h2>
