Respuesta :

Answer:

Expression:

[tex]s(x)=40 + 6x[/tex]

where s(x) is the savings and x is the number of weeks.

Faith will save $88 in 8 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Money Faith already have = $40

Additional earning per week = $6

Thus, we can write the following expression for the saving in x weeks.

[tex]s(x)=40 + 6x[/tex]

where s(x) is the savings and x is the number of weeks.

We have to find total money saved by Faith in 8 weeks.

We put x = 8  in the above equation.

[tex]s(8) = 40+6(8) = 88[/tex]

Thus, Faith will save $88 in 8 weeks.
