the kayak costs 440.
\n" ); document.write( "she has saved 160 so far.
\n" ); document.write( "she plans on saving 40 each month.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "equation is 440 = 160 + 40 * x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x represents the number of months.
\n" ); document.write( "to solve for x, do the following:
\n" ); document.write( "start with 440 = 160 + 40 * x
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 160 from both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "280 = 40 * x
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 280 / 40 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "she will have enough money to pay for the kayak in 7 months.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
