Jaylen · Answer 1

Equation is S = 40w + 650

So S = 40 (16) + 650

S = 640 + 650

S = $1,290

Step-by-step explanation:

this because each week (W) he adds $40 and the $650 is the initial amount in his savings account. So since 16 weeks went by, just multiply that by 40 and add 650 to that product.
