Question

After 10 weeks of work, bob has $1200. After 15 weeks of work Bob has $1800. After 20 weeks of work Bob has $2400. Write the firs four terms of a sequence that represents this situation. Writ and equation to model the situation

Answer 1

1200,1800,2400,3000

5x = 600x

Explanation:

The first four terms would be

1200,1800,2400,3000

As we can see that

After 10 weeks of work bob has $1200

After 15 weeks of work, bob has $1,800

So the more the weeks would be, the more the earnings it is

And, the difference of the earnings is

= $1,800 -$1,200

= $600

The equation would be

5x = 600x

So if we assume x = 1

So

5 = 600

if we assume x = 2

So

10 = 1200

and so on
