here the question
Rosalina just started a new job. She has $500 in her bank account. Every week, she deposits $40 into her bank account.

A)
Write an expression to represent how much Rosalina has in her account at any given time using x to represent the number of weeks.
I ALREADY SOLVED A BUT I NEED HELP WITH C

B) Rosalina wants to save $700 for the new smart tv write and equation to determine how many weeks (x) it will take for rosalina to have enough money to purchase her new tv

C) using your equation from b will rosalina have enough money for her new tv in four weeks?

also) how would the equation change if rosalina stopped working wasn't able to deposit $40 and had to instead withdraw $40 a week? Which part of your equation would change?

please help!

Answer:

for c it is no

Explanation:

it is no because she deposits 40 a week, in 4 weeks she deposits 40x4=160, which is nowhere close to the 700 she needs. Even if you count the 500 in her account it is still no since it would total up to 660, not 700

Answer:

Let M represent the amout at any time.

She saves $40 per week so total amount becomes 40x in any specified week.

where x is the number of weeks.

In the start she has $500 in her bank account so we 'll add this amount into the savings per week. So expression becomes

M = 40x+500

Simply put number of week in place of x and find the total amount.
