60 + 30w = 270
This equation says that you had 60 dollars and you save 30 dollars per w, or week, which will add up to equal 270. If needed to be solved:
60 + 30w = 270
-60 -60 Subtract 60 from both sides
30w = 210
/30 /30 Divide both sides by 30
w = 7 You get the answer of 7
It will take you 7 weeks to save. I hope this helped. Good luck and God Bless.
