Explanation:

"Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of summer he wants to atleast have $200 at the end of summer he withdraws $25 per week for food clothing and movie tickets how many weeks can keth with draw from his account"

given data

amount at hand=$500

amount expected= $200

weekly deduction from amount at hand=$25

Note: this is a reduction situation at a rate of $25

the expression for the situation is given as

y=c-mx

where y=200

c=500

m=25

substituting we have

200=500-25x

solving for x we have

200-500=-25x

-300=-25x

divide both sides by 25 we have

x=300/25

x=12 weeks
