: I am having trouble with this one on simple interest. I have tried and not been successful in getting this question solved.

The amount A of money on deposit for t years in an account earning simple interest is a linear function of t. Express that function as an equation of A= $272 when t=3 and A=$320 when t=5.
This is the actual question, I hope it has been made clear enough.

---------
A=P(1+rt)
272=P(1+3r)
320=P(1+5r)
