Question

Bijou has $72 in her savings account and plans to save $x each month for 8 months. The expression $8x+$72 represents the total amount in the account after 5 month. Factor the expression 8x+72

Answer 1

The total money in account after 8 months is $72 + $8 x

Explanation:

Given as :

Total money available in saving account = $72

The money saves each month in account = $x

So, The money saves in account after 8 months = $x × 8 = $8 x

Let The total money in account after 8 months = $A

Or, A = money available in saving account + money saves in account after 8 months

i.e A = $72 + $8 x

So, The total money in account after 8 months = A =$72 + $8 x

Hence, The total money in account after 8 months is $72 + $8 x Answer
