Answer: It will take her 7 weeks to save $120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information we can come up with an equation.

If Andre starts with $85 then that will be initial and won't change.She add $5 per week so we could represent that by 5x where x is the number of weeks.

To find how much Ander has saved in total we will represent that by y.

y = 5x + 85   If y is the amount that she has saved over some weeks input 120 in for y and solve for x.

120 = 5x + 85

-85           -85

  35  = 5x

 x = 7  

This means it will take her 7 weeks to save $120.
