Answer:

  • 1500 - 150x = Money left

Test Intro:

  • Let's replace x with 7 and see how much money is left.

Test solution:

  • 1500 - 150x = Money left
  • => 1500 - 150(7) = Money left
  • => 1500 - 1050 = Money left
  • => $450 = Money left

Conclusion:

Therefore, the equation x weeks = $150x is the answer.

Hoped this helped.

Answer:

1500/150 = x

Explanation:

If he has $1500 in the bank and spends $150 a week, you have to solve how many weeks that is, which is x. So you would have divison. You're answer would be 1500/150 = x, I believe.
