Suppose you receive $100 for a graduation present, and you deposit it in a savings account. then each week thereafter, you add $

5 to the account but no interest is earned. The amount in the account is a function of the number of weeks that have passed. Use your equation to find when you will have $310 in the account.

You will have $310 in your account after 42 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graduation present = $100

Amount deposited per week = $5

Let, x be the number of weeks, therefore, the function is

f(x) = 100+5x Eqn 1

We will put f(x)=310 in Eqn 1 to find number of weeks.

$310=100+5x\\310-100=5x\\210=5x\\5x=210\\$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{210}{5}\\x=42$

You will have $310 in your account after 42 weeks.
