Answer:

705 and19 weeks

Explanation:

Amount that Susan want to save = 800$

Savings per week = 19$

The amount, A (in dollars), that she still needs after w weeks is given by the following function


A(W) = 800 - 19w, where w represents the number of weeks

a) After 5 weeks money
A(5) = 800-19(5)\\=705$

b)
A(w) =439\\800-19w=439\\19w=800-439 =361\\w =19
