Answer 1

Answer:

11 months, $830

Step-by-step explanation:

$60 + 70x = 170 + 60x$

$70x + 60x = 170 - 60$

$10x = 110$

$x = 11$

$60 + 70x = 60 + 70 \times 11$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 60 + 770$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{\green{= 830}}$
