Answer:

  a) $94

  b) S = 54 +8w

  c) 14 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the account and its rate of change are given. These can be used to find the value at a time, or the time to reach a value.

a.

For each of 5 weeks Johanna added $8, so will have added 5×$8 = $40 after 5 weeks. When that is added to the original $54, the balance will be ...

  account balance = $54 + $8 × 5

  account balance = $54 +40 = $94

b.

Using S for the account balance, and w for the number of weeks, the above equation becomes ...

  S = 54 +8w

c.

We can substitute 166 for S in the equation of part b to find the necessary value of w:

  166 = 54 +8w

  112 = 8w . . . . . . . . subtract 54

  14 = w . . . . . . . . divide by 8

14 weeks will have passed when Johanna has $166 in her account.
