Answer 1

B Should be your answer!

Answer 2

B.
`350x+625`.

Explanation:

Let x represent number of weeks.

We have been given that Patricia is starting a part-time job that pays her $350 a week. So the amount saved after x weeks would be
`350x`.

We are also told that Patricia has saved $625. So total amount saved by Patricia after x weeks would be
`350x+625`.

Therefore, the expression
`350x+625` represent Patricia's total savings after x weeks and option B is the correct choice.
