ANSWER

45 weeks

Step-by-step explanation

We have that the cost of the PlayStation 5 after tax is $600.

Let the number of weeks it will take to be able to afford it be x.

This means that the sum of the Christmas gift and the allowance saved for x weeks must be equal to $600.

Therefore:

150 + (10 * x) = 600

150 + 10x = 600

Collect like terms:

10x = 600 - 150

10x = 450

Divide through by 10:

x = 450 / 10

x = 45 weeks

It will take 45 weeks for you to be able to afford the PlayStation 5.
