Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

200 = 8x + 40

Rearrange,

x = 160/8 = 20

He would need to save $20 a week

200= 20 × 8 + 40

Answer:

  • 8x + 40 ≥ 200
  • At least $20 each week

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Target amount = at least $200
  • Jason already has = $40
  • Time = 8 weeks
  • Saved amount each week = x

Required inequality:

  • 8x ≥ 160
  • x ≥ 160/8
  • x ≥ $20
