Answer: D) 7

Explanation:

First put this into an equation as shown

f(x)=10x

The 10 is for the money he makes and the x is the amount of weeks

then take the 35 dollars he already saved and put it into an equation as shown

35+f(7)

the f(7) is just another way to say y=10(7) (f(x) is just y but fancy lol)

7 is the number of weeks he can work to get 105. It can't be 6 because that would be 95 dollars and it can technically be 8 but the question ask for the least number of weeks.

Hope that helped. It may have been a bit complicated.
