Question

A new bank account is opened on week 1 with a $200 deposit. After that first week, weekly deposits of $55 are made in the account. If y represents the total deposited into the account and x represents the number of weeks, which function rule describes this situation?

Answer 1

y=55x+200, you multiply the number of weeks by the amount of money, and add 200 because they started with that.   

Answer 2

Answer: y = 200+ 55x

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation using the information given:

So, the total deposits (y) are equal to the week 1 deposit (200) plus the product of the amount of the deposits per week (55) and the number of weeks (x).

Mathematically speaking:

y = 200+ 55x
