Question

You have$200in a savings account and $100 in a checking account. Each week you add $50 to your saving account and $30 to your checking account . Write algebraic expression that represent the amount of money in each bank account after w weeks

Answer 1

The expression is (80w+300)

Explanation:

Let

y ----> the total amount of money in both accounts

s ----> the amount of money in saving account

c ----> the amount of money in checking account

w ----> the number of weeks

we know that

saving account

s=50w+200 -----> equation A

checking account

c=30w+100 ----> equation B

To find out the total amount of money in both accounts, sum equation A and equation B

y=s+c

substitute

y=(50w+200)+(30w+100)

y=(50w+30w)+(200+100)

y=80w+300

therefore

The expression is (80w+300)
