Juan always saves the **same **amount from his weekly allowance, then the **equation **which represents the **situation **is y -28 = 3(x - 6). Therefore, option B is correct.
What is an equation?
**Equations **are mathematical expressions that have two **algebra **on either side of an equal (=) sign. The expressions on the **left **and right are shown to be **equal **to one another , demonstrating this relationship. L.H.S. = R.H.S. (left-hand side = right side) is a **fundamental **simple equation . For an unknown quantity represented by an unknown variable, equations are then solved to determine its value . It is clear that a statement is not even an **equation **if there is no "equal to" sign in it.
A **solution **is obtained by entering 3 (weeks) for "x" and 19 (savings made) for "y," which results in the equation 0=0.

You're correct, it is B. If you plug in 3 (weeks) in for "x" and 19 (amount saved) for "y" you will get 0=0, which is a solution.

Juan's savings can be represented by the equation in option B: y − 28 = 3 ( x − 6 ) which relates to his pattern of saving. He saves $9 each week consistently. Thus, option B accurately describes the situation.
