15w+50=185
15 w plus 50 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

15w=185

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct equation that represents Jane's savings towards earning her bicycle is:

15w + 50 = 185

This equation indicates that Jane will save $15 each week (represented by $ 15w $) plus the $50 she already has from her birthday, and this total will equal the cost of the bicycle, which is $185.
