Question

30 pts!! In an online game you are rewarded with 20 points each day you log on and 5 dollars. You are trying to raise 1,420 points. You have 100 points. How many days would it take to raise 1,420 points?

Answer 1

it would take 66 days

Answer 2

Answer: 66

Explanation:

20 points per day is the rate, 100 points is the intial amount, and 1420 points is the total.

Use the formula: y = mx + b

• y is the total
• m is the rate
• b is the initial amount

1420 = 20x + 100 plugged the values into the equation

1320 = 20x subtracted 100 from both sides

66 = x divided both sides by 20
