Question

The amount of money left in Alma’s bank account is expressed by the linear equation y = -27x + 577, where x represents the number of weeks and y represents the amount of money left in her account. After how many weeks will Alma have $145 left in her account

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

If we are given the equation y = -27x + 577 and that

x = weeks

y = money left in account

Then you must replace 145 (the money) for y and solve for x (the weeks)

145 = -27x + 577

145 - 577 = -27x + 577 - 577

-432 = -27x

-432/-27 = -27x/-27

16 = x

This means that after 16 weeks Alma will have $145 left in her account

Hope this helped!
