Answer:

y=10x+50

Explanation:

Having deposited $50 into the account, then depositing $10 at the end of first week, Martin's account will be 10+50=$60

After x weeks, Martin if he maintains depositing $10 weekly, he would have deposited $10*x=$10x

Additionally, the initial deposit is in the account hence total balance will be

$10x +$50

Let y represent Martin's balance after x weeks then the situation is represented by

y=10x+50
