Amount of money in Yoko's account (in dollars) =

(b) Write an equation to show when the two accounts would have the same amount of money.

Answer 1

Answer:

A1-60x+460

A2-50x+530

B-60x7+460

50x7+530

Step-by-step explanation:

A1 and A2-since x is equivalent to number of months we multiply the number of months then add it to the original cost to get how much total you get in the account.

B-you add 50 to 530 and 60 to 460 until they equal the same amount in this case its 7 times.
