HELP PLEASE! URGENT!

Greg started with a certain number of quarters. He then decided on a number of quarters he would save each day. He added the quarters he saved to the amount with which he started.


At the end of day 2, Greg had a total of 26 quarters saved.

At the end of day 5, he had a total of 35 quarters saved.

At the end of day 8, he had a total of 44 quarters saved.

Hint: Create an x/y or t-chart and fill in the numbers with x-value representing the # of days and the y-value representing "total coins."


A. How many quarters does Greg start with (day zero)? Show or explain your work.


B. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the total quarters Greg has saved after x days.


C. Using the rate at which Greg is saving, explain why he can never have exactly 100 quarters saved by the end of any given day.

Answer:

a-20 b-y=3x+20 c- if you keep going at the same rate you will reach 98 or 101 since it adds by 3 you can't land on 100 directly
