Question

Stan is $50 in his wallet and continues to save $6 each week from chores. Kyle has $34 in his wallet and continues to save $10 each week from chores. Write a linear equation for each person. Then solve it in the space below.

Answer 1

Stan: 6w + 50
Kyle: 10w + 34

The 50 and 34 are added in the equations because this is the amount that Stan and Kyle started out with. The w in the equations represents the number of weeks that Stan and Kyle save their different amounts of money.

Answer 2

Stan: y=6x+50

Kyle: y=10x+34

Explanation:

The y-axis starts at 50 and increases by 6 for Stan's

The y-axis starts at 34 and increases by 10 for Kyle's
