x minus 15y equals 50
Explanation: The equation representing the scenario of Michele saving $15 per week until she has a total of $230 would involve the amount saved per week (x) minus the total amount saved (y). Initially, she has $50, so we start with $50 (minus y) and then add $15 per week (which is represented by x) until she reaches a total of $230. Therefore, the correct equation is x - 15y = 50 where x is the amount saved per week and y is the total amount saved.
