Answer 1

98+72*x>530

Explanation:

u then need to calculate x, which should be fine

Answer 2

Your equation would be 530 = 72x + 98

The answer to your equation would be, she would need to work 6 weeks.

Explanation:

530 = 72x + 98

530 - 98 = 432

432 / 72 = 6

How I got the equation:

First, the ending amount will be 530 so that will be our answer.

530 =

72 is how much she makes a week so x would represent the amount of weeks.

530 = 72x

Then she already has 98 so that would be added to the end.

530 = 72x + 98

Hope this helps!
