During the summer break, which consists of nine weeks. Steve decided to mow lawns to make some money to save up for a new laptop. The laptop costs $750. He also rents a lawn mower from Home Depot for $35 per week and he predicts he will also need to spend about $90 on gasoline. In order to stay competitive, he is going to charge $22 per lawn.

Determine the EQUATION that will help solve how many lawns Steve needs to mow, using n to represent the number of lawns.
What is the minimum number of lawns that Steve needs to mow in order to purchase the laptop. Use your equation that you made.
