A. y = 45(x – 4); $180
B. y – 270 = 45(x – 2) ; $450
C. y = 45(x – 4); $270
D. y – 270 = 45x; $45

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. y – 270 = 45(x – 2) ; $450

Step-by-step explanation:

In February, you have a balance of $270 in your bank account.

In January, you have a balance of $270 - $45 = $225 in your bank account.

In December, you have a balance of $225 - $45 = $180 in your bank account.

y = $180 + $45x, where x = 1, 2, 3, 4...

Balance in June: x = 6

y = $180 + $45x = $180 + $45×6 = $180 + $270 = $450

The complete question is:

In February, you have a balance of $270 in your bank account. Each month you deposit $45. Let January = 1, February = 2, and so on. Write an equation for this situation. Use the equation to find the balance in June.

Answer:

$450 in June

Step-by-step explanation:

$X = 270 + 45 × ( number of month)  

In this problem, February, the month you start with, would be month 0.

June would be 4.

$X = 270 + 45 × 4

= 270 + 180

= $450 in June

$450 in June.
