Question

Ivanna and her husband are each starting a saving plan. Ivanna will initially set aside $50 and then add $50.85 every week to the savings. The amount A (in dollars) saved this way is given by the function A=50 +50.85N, where N is the number of weeks she has been saving. Her husband will not set an initial amount aside but will add $65.95 to the savings every week. The amount B (In dollars) saved using this plan is given by the function B=65.95N. Let T be total amount (in dollars) saved using both plans combined. Write an equation relating T to N. Simplify your answer as much as possible.​

Answer 1

N=0.019666a-0.983284 or

A = 50.85n + 50

Explanation:

Let's solve for n.

a = 50 + 50.85n

Step 1: Flip the equation.

50.85n + 50 = a

Step 2: Add -50 to both sides.

50.85n+50+-50=a+-50

50.85n n = a - 50

Step 3: Divide both sides by 50.85.

50.85n

50.85

=

a-50

50.85

n=0.019666a-0.983284

Let's solve for a.

a = 50 + 50.85n
