Question 497755: Is there any way I can turn this question into an algebraic expression?
Ling wants to save $87 for tickets to a rock concert. If she has $23 now and will save $4 per week, holong will it take her to get enough money to buy tickets?
Answer by Flannery(124) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let w = weeks of saving. She has 23 dollars now. 23 dollars plus 4 times acertian number of weeks equals 87.
23+4w=87
23-23+4w=87-23
4w=64
4w/4=64/4
w=16
check
23+4(16)=87
23+64=87
87=87
