Question 725801
Origional Question:  Skylar wants to buy a video game system for $270. He has $60 and is saving $30 each week. Write an equation to determine the number of weeks he needs to save money, use w to represent the number of weeks he needs to save money?

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.
