Question

Suppose you were given $600 from your uncle. You deposited that money in a bank and added $50 per month.

Answer 1

The 1-variable equation that we need to solve to find how many months it would take to save $10,000 is given when we equal s(x)=10,000.

Hence, the answer is:

`50m+600=10,000`

Now, to find how many months it would take to save 10,000, we need to solve for m the previous equation. Therefore:

`50m+600=10,000`

Subtract both sides 600

`50m+600-600=10,000-600`
`50m=9400`

Then, divide both sides by 50:

`(50m)/(50)=(9400)/(50)`
`m=188`

Hence, it would take 188 months to save $10,000
