Question

Jose owes his brother $50. He promises to pay his brother back $5 each week until his debt is paid off. Represent the relationship between the debt, D, and the number of weeks, n, in a algebraic expression.

Answer 1

5n=50d

Explanation:

If n stands for the number of weeks and he is going to pay $5 per week, then the 5n go together and if the debt is 50, then it goes on the opposite side of the equal sign. I hope this helps!
