You have $80 in your bank account each week plan to deposit $9 from your allowance and $25 from your paycheck. The equation b=80+(25+9)w gives the amount b in your account after w weeks. How many weeks from now will you have $315 in your bank account?

$315 will be substituted into your equation for b

315 = 80 + (25 + 9)w
315 = 80 + 34w
Subtract 80 from both sides
235 = 34w
Divide both sides by 34
w = 6.9117
So I would answer 7 weeks.
