Question

Deshaun and Isabel each have opened a savings account today. Deshaun opened her account with starting amount of $590 and she'll take out $35 each month Isabel opened here with a start of $790 and she'll take out $55 per month (A) For each account write an expression for the amount of zkids in the account after x months (B) Write an equation to show when the two accounts would have the same amount of money

Answer 1

Deshaun = $590 - $35x

Isabel : $790 - $55x

$590 - $35x = $790 - $55x

Explanation:

For Deshaun :

Amount in her account = $590

Amount she would have withdrawn by month x = $35 × x = $35x

The amount she would have in her account = $590 - $35x

For Isabel :

Amount in her account = $790

Amount she would have withdrawn by month x = $55 × x = $55x

The amount she would have in her account = $790 - $55x

Let x be the time when the money in their account would be equal =

$590 - $35x = $790 - $55x
