money Mitchell will have in his account after any number of weeks.

Answer 1

Answer: 395+30x

Explanation:

Given : Mitchell has $395 now.

He saved $30 each week.

Let x be a variable that represents the number of weeks.

Since, Total amount = Current money + (Money save each week ) (Number of weeks)

Then, Total amount = (395 ) + (30)(x)

= 395+30x

Hence, the required algebraic expression= 395+30x
