Let's address each question one by one.

### Question 1

**A)** Sonny is collecting rare gems.

**Equation:**
Let \( m \) be the number of months it will take. The equation to represent Sonny's gems over time is:
\[ 76 + 4m = 100 \]

**Solving for m:**
Subtract 76 from both sides:
\[ 4m = 100 - 76 \]
\[ 4m = 24 \]
Now, divide by 4:
\[ m = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \]

**Time it will take:**
**6 months**

### Question 2

**A)** Jane is saving up to purchase her first bicycle.

**Equation:**
Let \( w \) be the number of weeks. The equation is:
\[ 15w + 50 = 185 \]

Your prompt seems to contain the correct equation among the options listed:
\[ 15w + 50 = 185 \]

---

### Question 3

**A)** Jason is removing weeds from his garden.

**Current number of weeds:** 250
**Weeds remaining desired:** 30
**Weeds to remove:**
\[ 250 - 30 = 220 \]

**Rate of removal:** 5 weeds per minute.

**Equation:**
Let \( m \) be the minutes taken. The equation is:
\[ 5m = 220 \]

**Solving for m:**
Divide by 5:
\[ m = \frac{220}{5} = 44 \]

**Final Answer:**
**44 minutes**

---

### Question 4

**A)** Write the equation that satisfies the parameters.

**Responses:**
The correct formulation is:
\[ 2(x + 24) = 76 - x \]
This states that two times the sum of a number (x) and 24 equals the difference of 76 and that same number.

It looks like you may want to modify the equation for Question 3 about Jason removing weeds.

However, the equation "250 + 5m = 30" does not correctly represent the situation. Instead, we should focus on the total number of weeds and how many he needs to remove.

Let's recap and correct that:

### Jason’s Weeds

1. **Current Number of Weeds**: 250
2. **Desired Number of Weeds Remaining**: 30
3. **Weeds to be Removed**:
\[
250 - 30 = 220 \text{ weeds}
\]

4. **Rate of Removal**: 5 weeds per minute.

5. **Correct Equation**: To find out how many minutes (m) it will take to remove 220 weeds, the correct equation is:
\[
5m = 220
\]

6. **Solving for m**:
\[
m = \frac{220}{5} = 44
\]

### Conclusion

- **Final Answer**: It will take Jason **44 minutes** to reduce the number of weeds to 30.

you can only choose
250 + 5m = 30
30 - 5m = 250
5m - 250 = 30
or
250 - 5m = 30

Thank you for providing the options. Based on the scenario where Jason has 250 weeds and wants to have only 30 remaining while removing weeds at a rate of 5 per minute, let's analyze the given options:

1. **250 + 5m = 30**: This doesn't make sense because it suggests the number of weeds increases as time goes on.

2. **30 - 5m = 250**: This implies that by removing weeds, you would be subtracting from 30 to somehow reach 250, which is incorrect.

3. **5m - 250 = 30**: This implies that the amount of weeds removed (5m) is equal to 30 more than the current number of weeds (250). This also doesn’t fit our situation.

4. **250 - 5m = 30**: This correctly represents that if you start with 250 weeds and remove \(5m\) weeds, you should be left with 30 weeds.

The correct choice based on the scenario provided is:

### **250 - 5m = 30**

From this equation, you can solve for \(m\):
\[
250 - 5m = 30
\]
Subtract 250 from both sides:
\[
-5m = 30 - 250
\]
\[
-5m = -220
\]
Divide by -5:
\[
m = \frac{-220}{-5} = 44
\]

**Final answer**: It will take Jason **44 minutes** to have only 30 weeds remaining.
