Question 2

Austin needs a total of $350 to buy a new bicycle. He has $35 saved. He earns $15 each week delivering
newspapers. How many weeks will Austin have to deliver papers to have enough money to buy the bicycle?

Answer 1

21 weeks

Explanation:

Equation: y = 15x + 35

15 is the rate of change and 35 is the starting point

Lets replace y with 350 since that the goal

350 = 15x + 35

Subtract 35 from both sides;

315 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15;

x = 21

He will have to deliver papers for 21 weeks to have enough money to buy a new bicycle.

Answer 2

It will take Austin 21 weeks
