Let S be the amount in a savings account. Let m be the number of months.
General equation S = 132 + 27m
Specific question July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July. S = 132 + 7*27 S = 132 + 189 S = 321
Reasonableness? Good question. You could estimate an answer. Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month. 7 * 25 = 175 S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
If Jerry initially releases 10 videos a week and creates an additional 3 each week, he will create a total of videos, where is the number of weeks. If Martin initially releases 15 videos a week and creates an additional 2 each week, he will create a total of videos, since is maintained. Therefore, the inequality can be used to find who creates more videos, where is the number of weeks.
