Answer 1

300=50x is what I got

Answer 2

300-50n=X(n)

Explanation:

You saved $300 to spend over the summer you decide to budget $50 to spend each week. write an equation that represents this situation

[ cash at hand ] minus [ $50 ] x [ number of weeks to spend it all ] = [ zero ]

300-50n=X(n)

where n is the number of week(s)

X(n)=The amount remaining

Let's see an example how ,much will i have left after two weeks

300-50n=X(n)

n=2

300-50(2)

X(2)=300-100

X(n)=$200

means i have two dollars left
