See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Savings = \$500[/tex]

[tex]Withdrawal = \$12[/tex] weekly

Required

The question is incomplete as the linear function or table or graph of Melissa's plan is not given.

The available details can only be used to solve the function of the given individual

Let the number of weeks be w.

So: the amount left in w weeks is:

[tex]Amount = Savings - Withdrawal * w[/tex]

[tex]Amount = 500- 12* w[/tex]

[tex]Amount = 500- 12w[/tex]

Represent as a function

[tex]f(w)= 500- 12w[/tex]

To solve the amount left at the end of a certain week (say week 5), simply substitute 5 for w in [tex]f(w)= 500- 12w[/tex]

[tex]f(5) = 500 - 12 * 5[/tex]

[tex]f(5) = 440[/tex]
