Question

Misha had $1380 in the bank. She was planning to spend $60 a week for gas to get to work. Let x be the number of weeks.

What equation represents the amount of money Misha has left in the bank after x weeks of spending $60 each week on gas?

A) $1380 - $60x
B) $1380 + $60x
C) $60x - $1380
D) $60x + $1380

Answer 1

The correct equation for the amount left in Misha's bank after spending $60 weekly on gas for x weeks is $1380 - $60x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the amount of money Misha has left in the bank after x weeks of spending $60 each week on gas is given by $1380 - $60x. This is because each week she spends $60, which is subtracted from her initial amount of $1380 in the bank. The variable x represents the number of weeks, so the equation models a decrease by $60 for each week that passes.
