15w+50=185

15 w plus 50 is equal to 185

15w=185

15 w is equal to 185

15w−50=185

15 w minus 50 is equal to 185

50w+15=185

50 w plus 15 is equal to 185

Answer 1

15w + 50 = 185

Reason: She starts with \$50 and adds \$15 each week, so total after w weeks is 50 + 15w, which should equal the \$185 cost.
