Question

Xavier has $23.50 in his savings account. He deposits $35 every week. His mother also deposits $20 into the account every time Xavier washes the car. His savings account balance can be shown with the following expression:

20c + 35w + 23.50

Part A: Identify a coefficient, a variable, and a constant in this expression. (3 points)

Part B: If Xavier saves for 12 weeks and washes the car 3 times, how much will he have in his account? Show your work to receive full credit. (4 points)

Part C: If Xavier’s mother deposited $25 after each car wash, would the coefficient, variable, or constant in the expression change? Why? (3 points)

Answer 1

Part A the coefficient is 20c and 35w, the variable is c and w representing cost and week. and the constant is 23.50.

Part B He would have 503.50 because 35(12)+60=420x+60+23.50 which would be 503.50

Part C The coefficient of the cost would change because you would be adding a 5 dollar increase!!!!!! done
