The Solution:

Given:

Each withdrawal by Brandon = $x

ATM charge per transaction = $2

Required:

To find an expression for Brandon's total withdrawal if he withdraws the same amount once a week for 7 weeks.

Step 1:

We shall find the total amount of each withdrawal, that is, the sum of the amount withdrawn and the ATM charge for the transaction.


\text{ Each withdrawal=x+2=\$(x+2)}

Step 2:

Finding the required total amount, we have:


\text{ Total amount withdrawn=7(x+2)=\$7(x+2)}
\begin{gathered} 7(x+2) \\ or \\ 7x+14 \\ \text{ or} \\ 7\mleft(x\mright)+7\mleft(2\mright) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answers are: [options 2, 3, and 4]
