Your savings account has a balance of $125. You add $22 a month to this balance.

Question

Which equation shows your balance, b, in m months?

b( m) = $125 m + $22
m( b) = $125 + $22 b
m( b) = $125 b + $22
b( m) = $125 + $22 m

Answer 1

To find the equation that represents your balance \( b \) in \( m \) months, we start with the initial balance of $125 and add $22 for each month.

The correct equation is:

\[ b(m) = 125 + 22m \]

So, the equation among your options that shows your balance \( b \) in \( m \) months is:

\[ b(m) = 125 + 22m \]

This means that for each month \( m \), you are adding $22 to your initial balance of $125.
