The best way to solve is by using elimination method.
20x = -58 - 2y
17x = -49 - 2y
Multiply second equation by -1
20x = -58 - 2y
-17x = 49 + 2y
Add equations.
3x = -9
Divide.
x = -3
Plug in -3 into one of the equations.
17(-3) = -49 - 2y
-51 = -49 - 2y
Add 49 to both sides.
-2 = -2y
Divide.
1 = y
So your solution is (-3, 1).

X=29 is the answer.......
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You should start with an equation.
The 'x' represents the week.
so now, we have to subtract 125 from the total amount which is 245.
now we have
to find 'x', we must divide 15 on each side
we are now left with
