Lena Wilkinson · Answer 1

25 (14) + 50=400

w=14

25 multiplied by 14 is 350 then add the 50 dollars shes has and youll get 400 so W is 14

Nyasia Keith · Answer 2

First, you want to subtract 50 from both sides, which gives you 25w = 350. Then, you want to divide 25 by both sides, which gives you a final answer of:

w = 14
