I'll be glad to check your answer.
I believe it is c?
Right.
the answer is c
To find the algebraic expression that represents Felipe's total savings after x weeks, we need to consider the amount he starts with and the amount he saves each week.
Felipe initially has $625 in savings. He plans to save all of his earnings, which is $150 per week. So his savings after 1 week would be $625 + $150, after 2 weeks would be $625 + $150 + $150, and so on.
We can express this using the algebraic expression: 625 + 150x.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 150x + 625.
