Y-270=45 (x-2); $450 would be your answer

Brodie Mckenzie · Answer 2

In February, you have a balance of $270 in your bank account.

In January, you have a balance of $270 - $45 = $225 in your bank account.

In December, you have a balance of $225 - $45 = $180 in your bank account.

y = $180 + $45x, where x = 1, 2, 3, 4 ...

Balance in June: x = 6

y = $180 + $45x = $180 + $45*6 = $180 + $270 = $450
