Equation: (500-65)/5=x per month

Answer 2

435= 5m

D,angela deposited Amount in the account = $65

Now , She wants to have $500 in her savings account five months from now.

So, she have to deposit amount in 5 months = $500-$65

= $435

Let m be the amount of money she must save each month.

So, she save amount in 5 months =
`5m`
