Camren wants to save $87 for tickets to a concert. If Camren has $24 now and will save
$7 per week, how long will it take to get enough money to buy the tickets?
Can you please show me how to do this step by step
step 1
Let
x -----> the number of weeks
y -----> total amount of money that Camren has
we have that
The linear equation that represent this situation is
y=7x+24
For y=$87
substitute in the linear equation
87=7x+24
solve for x
7x=87-24
7x=63
x=9
therefore
The answer is
9 weeks
