Budgeting and Personal Finance

Managing Money with Algebra

Algebra helps you create and stick to a budget, plan savings, and make smart financial choices.

Applications

  • Write equations to track income and expenses.
  • Calculate how much to save each month to reach a goal.
  • Use inequalities to set spending limits.

Why It's Useful

Understanding these concepts means better control over your money and future planning.

Examples

  • You earn $400/month and spend $250 on rent and $50 on food. Set up the equation \(400 - (250 + 50) = 100\) to find your remaining balance.

  • You want to save at least $20 a week: \(x \geq 20\).
