Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $259? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r .
Let "x" represent the number of weeks it will take for Maria's account to reach $259.
Since she saves $19 each week, the balance in her account after x weeks will be 19x.
The initial balance in her account is $50.
Therefore, the equation to represent this problem is:
19x + 50 = 259.
Annette’s soccer team will play 15 games this season. That is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r .(
Let "x" represent the number of games they played last season.
According to the information given, 2 times the number of games they played last season is 2x.
So, 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season is 2x - 7.
Since they will play 15 games this season, the equation to represent this problem is:
2x - 7 = 15.
Solve the following real-world problem: Destiny opens a checking account with $100 and then deposits $27 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $343? (
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to represent the situation.
Let "x" represent the number of weeks it will take for Destiny's account to reach $343.
Since she deposits $27 each week, the balance in her account after x weeks will be 27x.
The initial balance in her account is $100.
Therefore, the equation to represent this problem is:
27x + 100 = 343.
Now, let's solve this equation for x:
27x + 100 - 100 = 343 - 100,
27x = 243,
x = 243/27,
x = 9.
So it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
Solve the following real-world problem: Ahmadullah’s basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 games more than 13 the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?(
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to represent the situation.
Let "x" represent the number of games they played last season.
According to the information given, 12 games more than 13 times the number of games they played last season is 13x + 12.
Therefore, the equation to represent this problem is:
13x + 12 = 21.
Now, let's solve this equation for x:
13x = 21 - 12,
13x = 9,
x = 9/13.
Thus, they played 9/13 games last season.

Now, let's solve this equation for x:
13x = 21 - 12,
13x = 9,
x = 9/13.
Thus, they played 9/13 games last season. However, since we are looking for a whole number of games, we can round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 9 games last season.
