Answer:

Therefore required expression is

y =462 - t×15

where y represents the amount of money in her bank account in dollar after t week.

Explanation:

Given that,

Holly has $462 in her bank account and takes out $15 each week but does not put any back in.

She takes out $15 on first week.

The remaining amount of her bank account is =$(462-15)

=$(462 - 1×15)

If she withdraws $15 on second week.

The remaining amount of her bank account is =$(462-15-15)

=$(462 - 2×15)

Similarly after third the amount in her account is =$(462 - 3×15)

From the above it is cleared that

The amount in her account after t week is

=$(462 - t×15)

Therefore required expression is

y =462 - t×15

where y represents the amount of money in her bank account in dollar after t week.
