Question

You have ​$95 in your bank account. Each week you plan to deposit ​$9 from your allowance and ​$10 from your paycheck. The equation b​=95+(10+9​)w gives the amount b in your account after w weeks. How many weeks from now will you have ​$220 in your bank​ account?

There will be ​$220 in the account after ___ weeks

Answer 1

7 weeks

Explanation:

b​=95+(10+9​)w

Combine like terms

b​=95+(19​)w

Let b = 220

220 = 95 + 19w

Subtract 95 from each side

220-95 = 19w

125 = 19w

Divide each side by 19

125/19 = w
