Ryan is tracking how much money he has each week.

He started with $60. He spent $5 per week until he had $20 left in the account.
What is the equation?

A. y=2/3x+3
B. y==1/3x+31
C. y=-3x+31
D. y=60x-5
E. y=-5x+20
F. y=-5x+60
G. y=3x-3

1 answer

The correct equation is E. y=-5x+20.

In this equation:
- y represents the amount of money Ryan has in his account.
- x represents the number of weeks that have passed.
- The initial amount of money Ryan had when he started tracking was $60.
- Ryan spends $5 per week, which means he loses $5 each week.
- When Ryan reaches $20, the equation is balanced with $20 left in the account.

Therefore, the equation can be written as: y = -5x + 20.
