Question

#5 Tyler had $300 in his savings account. He withdraws $10 per week for gas. Write an equation that Tyler can use to see how many weeks it will take him to have a balance of $220.

Answer 1

Let's call the number of weeks Tyler will have a balance of $220 "x". The equation to see how many weeks it will take him to reach a balance of $220 can be written as:

$300 - $10x = $220

Solving for x:

$300 - $220 = $10x

$80 = $10xx = 8

So, it will take Tyler 8 weeks to reach a balance of $220 if he continues to withdraw $10 per week for gas.
