A new gaming chair costs $309.99. You have already saved $131.49 and earn $25.50 each week babysitting. Write and solve an equation to determine how many weeks, w, you must babysit to earn enough money to buy the new gaming chair.
25.5w − 131.49 = 309.99; w = 17
25.5 + 131.49w = 309.99; w = 7
25.5w − 309.99 = 131.49; w = 17
25.5w + 131.49 = 309.99; w = 7
