Write an equation modeling the total amount he has saved

Answer 1

Answer:

T = 35 + 5s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation for the the total amount that has been saved.

Let the number of weeks he has saved for be s

Then his total savings will be 5 * s = 5s

Now let’s add the $35 from his parents

This will give 35 + 5s

let T be the total

amount that hass beeem saved

So;

T = 35 + 5s

where a represents the number of weeks for which he has saved and T represent the total money that has been saved
