2. Railyn is saving for a laptop computer. She already has $800 saved and plans to save $50 a week from her baby
sitting money. If the laptop she wants costs $1,150, how
many weeks will it take her to save enough to buy it?
a. Define the variable and represent the situation with
an equation.

x = number of weeks which is some positive whole number

50x = amount saved after x weeks, when saving $50 per week

50x+800 = add on the 800 she already has

The expression 50x+800 is the total money saved. We set this equal to the 1150 to set up the equation we're after

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3

b. x + 1
