rashid saves $150 each month. he wants to know how much he will have saved in 2 years. he writes the rule s=m+150 to help him figure out how much he will save, where s is the amount saved and m is the number of months he saves. Explain why his rule is incorrected

His rule is incorrect because adding the amount of months and how much he saves each month wont give him the total amount he actually saved each month. The real rule would have to be, s=150m
