Question

Sergio wants to buy the newest Jordans. They cost $210. Sergio plans to save $12 each month. His mom is going to give him $50. Write an equation to find x, the number of months it will take him to save the needed money.

(WHAT IS THE EQUATION?)

Answer 1

Answer: 5.8=x

Step-by-step explanation:

$210=Price

$12=Each Month

$50=From Mom

120-50=70

70/12=5.8 Months

Answer 2

12x + 50 =210

Explanation:

Given the data on the world problem, we know that one of our terms will be 12x because it says "each month" in the problem. If his mom is going to give him 50 dollars, and the Jordans cost 210, then we can write a simple equation.

x = number of months it will take him

`12x+50=210`
