Charlie is putting money into a saving account. He starts with $550 in the savings account, and each week he adds $60. Let S represent the total amounted money in the saving account (in dollars), and let W represent the number of weeks Charlie has been adding money. Write an equation relation S to W. Then use this equation to find the total amount of money in the saving account after 12 weeks.

Equation :
Total amount of money after 12 weeks: $

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .
