Gerald deposits $50 every week into a savings account. At week 16, the account balance is $1650. Write an equation that models the balance, y, and the number of weeks, x.

I think y=50x+850
Becauseee y is the balance and x is the weeks so if we plug in the information we’re given about the balance being 1650 at 16 weeks, it’d be
1650=50(16)+850
Which if you do the math it’s 1650=1650
