Veronica is saving money to buy a saddle for her horse that cost $175. She plans to save $10 the first month and then increases the amount she saves by $5 each month after the first month. How many months will it take her to save $175?

Respuesta :

Answer:

33 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation

x represents months

5x + 10 = 175

subtract 10 from both sides

5x = 165

Divide both sides by 5

x = 33
