The answer would be D. 7 weeks, $230.

Explanation: y would be the total amount after x weeks. So, to find the answer, simply go through your choices and insert x and y. Both y's for Joy and Cullen have to match up for the answer to be correct.

For answer D, it looks like:

Joy: 30(7) + 20 = 230
Cullen: 20(7) + 90 = 230
