Answer 1

In order to solve the equation, we must simplify for w.
Original: 60 + 30w = 480

30w = 480 - 60
30w = 420
w = 420/30
w = 14

Therefore the correct answer is D. 14 weeks.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is D. weeks
 easy ways to check is by:
Birthday cash:$60
weekly saved: $30 
so 480- 60= 420 
and if you multiply 30 by 14 equal= 420
