The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.
The equation for this problem is:
2x+8=26
the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:
2x=18
after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:
x=9
Max is 9 years old.
To answer this question we can propose the following equation:

Where:
x is the number of weeks elapsed.
d is the debt depending on the weeks.
Robert promised to pay at least $ 67 each week.
Therefore, after 5 weeks the debt of rober should be:


Then scenario A) is possible because
.
After 6 weeks:


Then scenario B) is possible because
.
After 7 weeks


Then scenario C) is possible because
.
After 8 weeks


So scenario D) is NOT possible because 
Finally the correct answer is option D.
Answer:im sorry i just did so much reserch but it was wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would x=-1 for this question
M =kw+b general form
1. k should be negative because the line is going down when x increases
2. b is y intercept , b=250
slope= - 50/2 =-25
m=-25w + 250
correct choices
1) m=250-25w
4) m +25w=250, because can be written as m=-25w =250
