Kalon has $175 and needs to save at least $700 for a new computer. if he can save $35 per week, what is the minimum number of weeks kalon will need to save to reach his goal? a.10 weeks b.12 weeks c.15 weeks d.20 weeks

The answer is the option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x> the number of weeks

we know that

The inequality that represent the situation is equal to

Solve for x

The minimum number of weeks is

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
