A little unclear with your question...
April : $46,000 (Is this a typo? Double check your question posted.)
May: $5,125
June: $5,650
Did Maria START with $46,00 in April and ADD $5,125 to the account in May?
With your comment and clarification, it does make more sense. Thank you! As an equation, You would need to express that every month she adds $525. 4,600(beginning balance) PLUS x(number of months)TIMES 525 EQUALS y(total in account). In a more simple writing: 4,600+525(x)=y

Thank you for your time ,though, I have one teeny little comment. That is the same answer I got at first but when I showed it to my teacher, he said that the 4,600 part for the equation is incorrect. Then I thought to myself, if 4,600 is the starting value of the money Maria deposits in the bank in April yet x represents the number of months, then that means that you would not be able to write 0 for x(# of months) because April is the first month. Does that mean that it would be some other number other than 4600?
If my comment is a bit confusing, what I am trying to say is that April is our beginning balance yet its our first month. So what would I write instead of 4600?

Wouldn't it make sense to do this...
4600-525= 4075
and use 4075 as your starting balance?
