Question

crystal wants to weigh more than 120 pounds. If she is 95 pounds now and gained 2 pounds a week how many weeks will it take to reach her goal?

Answer 1

120-95=25, 25/2 = 12.5 weeks or 13 weeks if they want it rounded to a whole number

Answer 2

• 12.5 weeks or rounded to 13 weeks

Explanation:

Let the number of week be x, then we get the following equation

• 95 + 2x = 120

Solving for x

• 2x = 120 - 95
• 2x = 25
• x = 25/2
• x = 12.5

Answer is 12.5 weeks or rounded to 13 weeks
