Answer 1

85+7x or 85+7x=141

Explanation:

x=8

Answer 2

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We'll call our weeks w and call our total savings s.

We have an initial $85 and then we add 7 every week. This means that we will be adding 7 for every week, so we will put this in our equation as 7w.

Therefore, our equation would be s=7w+85

Now, we plug in 8 for our w value to see how much money she will have after 8 weeks.

s=7(8)+85

s=56+85

s=141

Therefore, Aubrey will have saved $141 after 8 weeks.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
