Question

Rodney wants to buy a camera that costs $133. This amount is $25 more than 3 times the amount he saved last month. Which equation could be used to solve for x, the amount Rodney saved last month?

Answer 1

Answer: 25+3x =133

Explanation:

Let x = the amount Rodney saved last month

Cost of camera Rodney wants to buy= $133 , which is $25 more than 3 times the amount he saved last month.

i.e. 25+3(amount Rodney saved last month) = Cost of camera (in dollars)

i.e. 25+3x =133 (in dollars)

Hence, the equation could be used to solve for x : 25+3x =133
