Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Carlos has $50 in his savings account. He deposits $100 on his birthday, and then another $25 every month.

Now wants to reach a balance of $500.

So, equation becomes:

                                    :    

Hence Equation can be used to find the number of months it would take him to reach a balance of $500 is
