Hasan, withdrawing $30 weekly from $300 savings, depletes his account in 10 weeks. The equation
\(300 - 30n = 0\) is solved, indicating it takes 10 weeks for his savings to reach $0.

the equation we derived earlier:


\[300 - 30n = 0\]

Start with the equation representing Hasan's savings after 'n' weeks.


\[300 - 30n = 0\]

To isolate 'n' (the number of weeks), let's move the constant term (300) to the other side by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.


\[300 - 300 - 30n = 0 - 300\]


\[0 - 30n = -300\]

Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by -30 to solve for 'n'.


\[(0)/(-30) = (-300)/(-30)\]


\[n = (300)/(30)\]


\[n = 10\]

So, after solving step by step, we find that 'n' is 10. It will take Hasan 10 weeks to have $0 in his savings account by withdrawing $30 every week without replenishing it.

Hasan has $300 in his savings account. Each week, he withdraws $30 from his account without replenishing it.

How many weeks will it take for Hasan to have no money left in his savings account?
