To represent the total amount Iris has saved, we can use the equation:
\[ y = 44 + 15x \]
In this equation:
- \( y \) represents the total amount saved.
- \( 44 \) is the amount she has already saved.
- \( 15 \) is the amount she saves each week.
- \( x \) represents the number of weeks.
\[ y = 44 + 15x \]
In this equation:
- \( y \) represents the total amount saved.
- \( 44 \) is the amount she has already saved.
- \( 15 \) is the amount she saves each week.
- \( x \) represents the number of weeks.
