Leon needs $350
Leon has $130
Leon wants to save $20 per week
x = weeks

First, let's place what Leon needs on the left side of the equation:

$350 = ...

We know Leon as $130 saved so far, he plans to save $20 a week.
So, what you do here is add $130 to $20x. The reason why x is next to the $20 is because Leon wants to save $20 a week (the x represents the week). The reason why you add 130 is that's what Leon has saved so far. Therefore, the right side of your equation should look like this:

... = 130 + 20x

whereas 130 represents the amount saved so far, 20 represents weekly savings, x represents the number of weeks.

Put the left and right sides of the equation together and you should have:

$350 = $130 + $20x

Now, if you want to solve the equation:

Subtract 130 from both sides

  350 =  130 + 20x
- 130   - 130
-----------------------------
220 = 20x

Then, divide 20 by both sides

220 = 20x
-----   -----
20      20

11 = x

Leon needs to save up $20 for 11 weeks if he wants to buy the bike.

Want to check your answer?

Plug in 11 for x since 11 is the number of weeks.

350 = 130 + 20(11)
350 = 130 + 220
350 = 350

Answers match, therefore your answer is correct

Which two expressions are equivalent?
Serjik [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are doing to replace d with 14

(14 + 9 equals 23) times 3 (equals 69) and 14 plus (9 times 3 equals 27) equals 41

(14 -8 equals 6) times 2 equals 12 and 8 -14 equals 6  (times 2) equals -12

3(4 times 14  equals 56-2 equals 54) times 3 equals 162 and 7 times 14 equals 98 -5 equals 93

5(3 times 14 equals 42 plus 6 equals 48) times 5 equals 240 and 15 times d equals 210 plus 30 equals 240

Spencer wants to burn 450 calories while biking. Biking burns about 10 calories per minute. When Spencer goes biking, he usually
kupik [55]

Answer:

The equation  to find the total number of minutes (including rest) that Spencer should plan to be out biking is 10(m-15)=450.

Spencer should plan for 60 minutes  to be out biking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total calories need to burn = 450 calories

Calories burn per minute = 10

number of minutes he rest = 15

We need to find the total number of minutes (including rest) that Spencer should plan to be out biking.

Solution:

Let Total minutes of biking be 'm'.

So we can say that.

Calories burn per minute multiplied by the difference of total minutes and number of minutes he rest is equal to Total calories need to burn.

framing in equation form we get;

10(m-15)=450

Hence the equation  to find the total number of minutes (including rest) that Spencer should plan to be out biking is 10(m-15)=450.

On Solving the above equation we get;

First we will divide both side by 10 we get;

\frac{10(m-15)}{10}=\frac{450}{10}\\\\m-15=45

Now adding both side by 15 we get;

m-15+15=45+15\\\\m=60\ minutes

Hence Spencer should plan for 60 minutes  to be out biking.

I don’t get 15a. The t^5 is confusing me
kondor19780726 [428]

15a is non-exponential because the variable is not in the exponent

Instead, this is a polynomial function. It can also be called a power function as power functions are in the form a*x^b where 'a' and 'b' are fixed numbers.
