Write an algebraic expression that models the situation.

Question

Jenny had ​$146​, but she is spending ​$14 per week

Answer 1

Let's start by defining a variable to represent the number of weeks Jenny spends her money. Let's call this variable "w".

Then, we can write an algebraic expression to represent the amount of money Jenny has left after "w" weeks:

Amount of money left = $146 - $14w

This expression models the situation where Jenny starts with $146 and spends $14 per week for "w" weeks.
