Given:

The linear equation is


y=-27x+577

where x represents the number of weeks and y represents the amount of money left in Alma's account.

To find:

The number of weeks in which Alma have $145 left in her account.

Solution:

We have,


y=-27x+577

Substitute y=145, we get


145=-27x+577

Subtract both sides by 577.


145-577=-27x


-432=-27x

Divide both sides by -27.


(-432)/(-27)=(-27x)/(-27)


16=x

So, the number of required weeks is 16. Therefore, the correct option is B.
