Isaaq put 2b + 3 dollars in the bank in the first week. The following week he doubled the first week’s savings and put that amount in the bank. The next week he doubled what was in the bank and put that amount in the bank. If he now has $477 in the bank, how much did he put in the bank the first week? Please add an numerical explanation

Answer:

The answer is $159

Explanation:

2b + 3 - Day 1

4b + 6 - Day 2

6b + 9 - Day 3

477=6b+9

-9 -9

468=6b

78=b

(2x78) + 3 = 159

The answer is $159
