You start a new job. After w weeks, you have (10w+120) dollars in your savings account and (45w+25) dollars in your checking account. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the total in both accounts and how much money did you have before you started your job and how much money do you have save each week

see below! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

total in both accounts: add both the expressions together

(10w+120) + (45w+25) = 55w+145

divide the expression by 55 to get it in simplest form.

w + 2.63

money i had before i started my job:

plug in 0 for w (0 weeks of having my job - means i just started my job and didn't receive my paycheck :c)

10(0) + 120 = 120                 <- savings account

45(0) + 25 = 25                   <- checking account

money i save each week:

compare when you plug in 1 for w and 2 for w into the "savings account" expression.

10(1) + 120 = 130

10(2) + 120 = 140

i save $10 a week (140-130 = 10)

hope this helped!! xoxoxo
