    x = 14 weeks

    Therefore the money will last for 14 weeks

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    Initial amount = $550

    Final amount = $200

    Weekly Withdrawal = $25

    Let x represent the number of weeks the money would last;

    The sum of weekly Withdrawal for x weeks is = $25x

    The problem can then be represented by the equation.

    550 - 25x = 200 ... 1

    Making x the subject of formula, we have;

    25x = 550-200

    x = (550-200) / 25 = 350/25

    x = 14 weeks

    Therefore the money will last for 14 weeks
