Question

9) Josie had $89 in her bank account. She recently got a job and is able to save $107 each

paycheck. To represent the situation a student wrote the equation y = 89x + 107. What is
wrong with the students equation? Describe the error and correct it.

Answer 2

Answer: the x should be next to the 107 instead of the 89
