Question

Justin is saving money to buy a stereo. He has $25 saved in the bank right now. He earns $40 each week delivering newspapers.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 25 + 40x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y = the total amount of money Justin has

x = number of weeks

Amount Justin has in the bank = $25

Amount Justin earns per week = $40

Equation for how much money Justin has (including the amount he has in the bank) in x weeks

the total amount of money Justin has = Amount Justin has in the bank + (Amount Justin earns per week * number of weeks)

y = 25 + (40 * x)

y = 25 + 40x

The equation is

y = 25 + 40x
