Q. 1,000+250x 1,000+250 x \newlineTeresa currently has $1,000 \$ 1,000 in her bank account. The expression above models the amount of money in her account in x x months if she deposits $250 \$ 250 into the account each month. Based on the expression, what is the amount, in dollars, Teresa will have in her account 66 months from now? (Ignore the $ \$ symbol when entering your answer.)
  1. Identify Amount and Deposit: Identify the initial amount and the monthly deposit.\newlineTeresa starts with $1,000\$1,000 and deposits $250\$250 each month.
  2. Calculate Total Amount: Use the expression 1,000+250x1,000 + 250x to calculate the total amount after xx months.\newlineSince we want to know the amount after 66 months, we substitute xx with 66.\newline1,000+250×61,000 + 250 \times 6
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication part of the expression first, according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). 250×6=1,500250 \times 6 = 1,500
  4. Add Initial and Deposits: Add the initial amount to the total deposits after 66 months.1,000+1,500=2,5001,000 + 1,500 = 2,500
