Question

Can someone help me PLZ! I keep posting the same question and no ones helping me :((((((((((((

Steve started with $250 and spent $20 per week. Chelsea started with nothing but saved $30 per week. Use x for time and y for savings.

Write an equation to represent Steve's situation.

Answer 1

y=250-(20x)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`250 - 20x=y`

Explanation:

As per the given problem, Steve starts with $250, and spent $20 a week, the problem mentions nothing about Steve's savings, therefore, one can assume that they didn't save anything. As the problem requests, parameter (
`x`) will be used for the time, and (
`y`) for the savings.

Steve's saving would be equal to his initial value, minus his expense, in essence;

`250 - 20x=y`

The initial value, minus the amount spend per week multiplied by the week number will equal the savings left.
