Respuesta :

Answer:

$25 x 8

Step-by-step explanation:

he gets the same amount each month then times it by eight to see what he gets by eight months

Answer:

8x + 25 = 505

Step-by-step explanation:

He started with $25.

Each month, he deposits the same amount, but we don't know that amount.

Let's call the unknown amount of the monthly deposit x.

In 8 months, he deposited 8x.

We add 8x to the first deposit of $25 to get 8x + 25.

That must equal the total amount of money in his account after 8 months.

8x + 25 = 505

The equation is 8x + 25 = 505.
