\

Samuel has $\"\"$ in the bank.

\

He wishes to increase his account to a total of $\"\"$ by depositing $\"\"$ per week from his pay check.

\

Write and use an equation to find how many weeks he needs to reach his goal.

\

Find an equation:

\

Let $\"\"$ represents his depositing pay from his paycheck per a week.

\

He depositing from his paycheck per a week is $\"\"$ .

\

He $\"\"$ has money in the bank.

\

His total account is $\"\"$ .

\

His total account is equal to the sum of the he has money and depositinq pay check.

Sum of the ninteen hundred and thirty times of $\"\"$ equal twentyfive hundred.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Find how many weeks he needs to reach his goal :

\

$\"\"$ (Orginal equation)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property : $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

Therefore, he reaches his goal in $\"\"$ weeks.

\

$\"\"$

\

Check :

\

$\"\"$ (Orginal equation)

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ in the equation)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply)

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

$\"\"$

\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\
