The savings (y) is equal to the earnings (x) minus the amount spent (20
dollars).
Let's represent the amount Christina earns by x and the amount she
spends by 20 dollars.
Her savings (y) can be expressed as the difference between what she
earns and what she spends:
y=x−20
So, the savings (y) is equal to the earnings (x) minus the amount spent (20
dollars).
