Question

I have a negative balance of $153 in my saving account. Every week, I save $17 and deposit it into my saving account. How many weeks will it take for me to save at least $0. a) Write an inequality to represent the situation. b) Solve the inequality

Answer 1

Answer: 17x=153

It would take 9 weeks to reach a balance of 0.

Explanation:

So what you would do, you would do as follows; you have a situation where is says "every week'' so you would put 17x=153. So to solve that, you would divide 153 by 17, and that's how you would get your answer of 9.
