Jerome's teacher gave him a homework assignment on solving equations. Since he's been thinking about saving for a used car, he decided to use the assignment as an opportunity to model a savings plan.
He already has $500, and he plans to save $375 every month. To model the situation, he created this equation, where y represents the total
amount saved for the car and x represents the number of months since he started saving:
500 + 375x= y.
He then solved the equation to determine how many months he would need to save to have enough to purchase the car. Review his work, and
select the error.
