Answer:

The equation is   [tex]65+5m=500[/tex]

[tex]m=\$87[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Write an equation that helps D'angela determine the amount of money she must save each month

Let

m ----> the amount of money to deposit into the account each month for the next five months

we know that

The initial amount deposited plus the amount m multiplied by 5 must be equal to $500

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

[tex]65+5m=500[/tex]

solve for m

subtract 65 both sides

[tex]5m=435[/tex]

Divide by 5 both sides

[tex]m=\$87[/tex]
