Answer 1

ANSWER:

$d_n=4n+16_{}$

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

If n is the number of days that pass.

So each day Sam gets 4 more, which means that he would multiply the number of days by 4, before adding that number to the original number of pennies, which was 16.

Therefore, the equation would be:

$d_n=4n+16_{}$
