Answer:
This means that he has to save at least $88 or more to have enough money.
Step-by-step explanation:
He has $37 and he needs to save more (+) but we don't know how much more that is, so that's why that is our unknown value. (x). The sum of them has to be at least 125 or greater.
Subtract 37
The sequence can be represented by , where
is a whole number(
and
is an integer). By this, we should be able to plug in some whole number x and be able to get these values if they are in the sequence. To test this, let's set these numbers equal to
and confirm that there is a whole number x which equals the values selected.
When trying 160 with our equation, we find that x doesn't equal a whole number, thus our answer is C, or 160. To confirm our answer, we can test 170 and 210 and confirm that they both give us a value for x which is a whole number.
