HELP

Answer 1

Answer: 700x+1700

This represents the total amount spent over the x weeks that have gone by.

===========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of weeks

700x = amount spent over those x weeks ($700 per week)

700x+1700 = total amount spent when adding on the $1700 tv.

------

An example:

Let's say x = 10 weeks have elapsed. He spends $700 a week, so 700x = 700*10 = 7000 dollars have been spent so far if we ignore the tv. Then add on the $1700 tv cost to get 7000+1700 = 8700 dollars total spent.

Then note how 700x+1700 = 700*10+1700 = 8700 matches what we got earlier.

I recommend trying out other values of x to get a better idea of what's going on.
