Mary borrowed $840 from her friend to help pay for a trip. She paid him $40 every week until the debt was paid.
How many weeks did it take Mary to pay her debt?
A. 40
B. 35
C. 32
D. 21

21 Weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

$840 ÷ 4 weeks = 21

You can also reverse work this by multiplying $40 by the other choices!

$40 x 40 = $1600

$40 x 35 = $1400

$40 x 32 = $1280

$40 x 21 = $840

As we can see, D is the only answer that makes sense, therefore 21 weeks is the answer.

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x
