Question

Problem 1. Martin opened a

savings account with $50.
Every week he deposited $10
into the account
1. Which equation best represents Martin's
situation?​

Answer 1

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
