Answer
m=250w

Explanation:

To write an engebraic expression, you should first start off by defining the variables.

Money earned = m

Weeks = w

Next, you have to define the relationship.

Shawn earns $250 per week, so in 2 weeks, he will earn 500, 3 weeks, 750, and so on. I did this by mulitplying, so amount of weeks times the amount of money earned would equal the total money he earned over "w" amount of weeks.

To create the expression, you just have to put the numbers and variables together.

m (money earned over "w" weeks) = 250 (money per week) w (number of weeks).

m=250w
