Respuesta :

(a) Substituting with w = 7 into the equation we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A(7)=600-18\cdot7 \\ A(7)=600-126 \\ A(7)=474 \end{gathered}[/tex]

He still needs $474

(b) Substituting with A(w) = 294 into the equation we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 294=600-18w \\ 294-600=-18w \\ -306=-18w \\ \frac{-306}{-18}=w \\ 17=w \end{gathered}[/tex]

He has been saving for 17 weeks.
