To find out how many weeks it will take for Matt to save $15000, we can set up the equation:
$20 x w = $15000
We want to find w, the number of weeks it will take Matt to save $15000.
To isolate w, we divide both sides of the equation by $20:
w = $15000 / $20
w = 750
Therefore, it will take Matt 750 weeks (or approximately 14.42 years) to save $15000 if he puts $20 in his savings account each week.
