Answer 4

So, Linda already had $650 dollars in her account, but the question isnt asking you how much she already had. Its asking how much she's getting per week

Answer 5

I cant see the third box

Answer 6

It just says what already in the bank.

Lets say every week I give you $5. How can you tell how much money i've given you after four weeks?

Answer 7

multiplication

Answer 8

right 4 times 5.
If you wanted to tell how much I'd given you in nine weekd you'd do 9 times 5.
If you wanted to find out how much I'd given you in 100 weeks you'd multiply 100 times 5

So you can see the 5 is always staying the same because I'm never giving you more, or less than $5.

But the week does change...

Answer 9

so to represent that we just make a rule:

I can see how much money i've made by multiplying 5 by however many weeks I've been working.

Or

How Much I've Made = $5 x Number of weeks.

It's kind of annoying to write this out every time so we make a code system:
y=how much money you've made.
x=number of weeks you have worked

So we can say:

y= $5x

Answer 10

okay

Answer 11

Last thing, lets say you already had $50 and you wanted to see how much money you had on top of what I was giving to you per week.

You would do the same equation:

y=5x

but you would need to add $50 to it to get the total amount you have now.

y=5x+50

See the pattern?

Answer 12

yeah

Answer 13

so the change per week is 30 and the starting amount is 650?

Answer 14

dollars

Answer 15

correct
