Question

pete’s checking account showed a balance at the beginning of the month of $180. After 3 days the checking account showed a balance of $172.50. Write a linear equations to represent the total in the checking account f(x) according to the day x.

Answer 1

180- 172 =8 $ 8/3 =2.56

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The linear equation to represents the total in the checking account :

f(x) = $180-$2.5x

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount showing at the beginning of the month = $180

After 3 days,

Balance shown in checking balance = $172.50

So, difference in 3 days would be

`(180-172.5)/(3)\\\\=(7.5)/(3)\\\\=\$2.5`

Hence, the linear equation to represents the total in the checking account :

f(x) = $180-$2.5x
