Answer 1

Alex starts with 125 and April starts with 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alex wrote an equation to show the total, y, she has saved at the end of each week, x.

`y = 20x + 125`

In order to find the starting amount of Alex, we need to put x = 0

Therefore we would get,

`y = 125`

Thus, Alex's starting amount was 125.

And since April made a graph with x = 0, and 7 = 100, this would make April's starting amount is 100.

Hense, Alex's savings amount is greater than April's.

`125>100`
