A bank put $10 into a savings account when you opened the account. Eight weeks later, you have a total of $24. Assume you saved the same amount each week.
If the total amount of money in the savings account is represented by \( y \) and \( x \) represents the number of weeks, write an equation in the form \( y = mx + b \) that describes the situation.

Answer (2)
The equation y = 1.75x + 10 represents the situation. ;
The equation that represents the situation in the savings account is y = 1.75 x + 10 , where y is the total amount of money, x is the number of weeks, and $10 is the initial deposit. Each week, $1.75 is added to this amount. Thus, after 8 weeks, the total amount in the account is $24.
