Applying Linear Functions

Question 5 • WCPSS-Introductory Math CR

The amount of money left in Alma’s bank account is expressed by the linear equation y = -27x + 577, where x represents the number of months and y represents the amount of money left in her account. After how many months will Alma have $145 left in her account?

Answer
A
12 months
B
16 months
C
22 months
D
26 months

Explanation

Set y equal to $145: 145 = -27x + 577. Subtract 577 from both sides to get -432 = -27x, then divide by -27 to find x = 16. Alma will have $145 after 16 months.
