12v = 18+6v
move +6v to the other side
sign changes from +6v to -6v
12v-6v= 18+6v-6v
12v-6v= 18
6v= 18
divide by 6 to get v by itself
6v/6=18/6
Answer:
v= 3
8 weeks
First, find how much money Maurisa saves each week. 25% is the same as 1/4, and 1/4 of 8 is 2, so Maurisa saves $2 each week.
Finally, just divide $16 by $2 per week to find that Maurisa will take 8 weeks to save $16.
