Question

James has decided to start saving for a cruise over the summer. His money is currently in the local bank, modeled by the function s(x) = 102. He is able to do work around the neighborhood to earn extra money and that function would be a(x) = 8(x + 2), where x is measured in hours. Explain to James how he can create a function that combines the two, and describe any simplification that can be done. @Asevilla5 @IMStuck @aum @math&ing001

Answer 1

Please explain

Answer 2

Simply add the two functions s(x)+a(x) then simplify.

Answer 3

show and explain with words please

Answer 4

Let m(x) be the total money function. x is in hours
m(x) = s(x) + a(x) = 102 + 8(x+2) = 102 + 8x + 16 = 8x + 118

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

I'd go with s(x)+a(x)
which is 102+8(x+2)

Answer 7

The problem states: "He is able to do work around the neighborhood to earn extra money and that function would be a(x) = 8(x + 2), where x is measured in hours."

We add them because the problem states: "create a function that combines the two".

s(x) + a(x) = 102 + 8(x+2) = 8x + 118
