Question

​George has $3 in his savings account. He then adds $4 per day to the account. Let y represent the total amount in the account after x days.

Which equation represents this situation in the form of y=mx+b ?

Question 9 options:

y = 4x + 3


y = 3x + 4


y = 3/4x - 3


y = 4/3x - 4

Answer 1

The answer is the 1st option, y = 4x + 3

Explanation:

x is the amount of days that the 4 dollars will be multiplied by

( 4 * x )

The + 3 is the money that George already had in his savings account, so that money will be added to the total amount in his savings account.

( 4x + 3 )

Lastly, the y stands for the total amount of money in his savings account so the answer is the 1st option.

y = 4x + 3

Hope this helps! :)
