Solve 48.25 + 15.75w = 158.50 to find the number of weeks Terrell will need to save money for the video game system.

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 7 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

48.25+15.75w=158.50

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

15.75w=158.50-45.25

Subtract the numbers

15.75w= 110.25

Divide both sides of the equation by 15.75

w=7

Answer 2

158.50 subtract 48.25 which equals 110.25 divied by 15.75 gets your answer

of 7
