    48 = 12 + 9w

    36 = 9w

    w = 4

    Worked out:

    you need 48 dollars, you already have 12. so now you need to save 9 per week, which would be 9w. so you would want to add 9w to 12 to get to 48. simplifying and solving for w would be 4 weeks

    12 + 9w = $48

    Step-by-step explanation:

    w represents the number of weeks

    $48 is the amount you need, $12 + 9w is the money you're putting in

    12 + 9w = $48

    9w = 36

    w = 4
