AND PLEASE Explain your answer in a complete sentence. PLEASE PLEASE THXS

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this problem, we have to make an equation. We can use "w" as the number of weeks he will need to save up for the ticket. The total amount we want is 48, so part of is equation is made: =48. The next part is multiplying the number of weeks we get for both acquiring (5w) and spending (-1.5w) money. The number of weeks is w, now we have (5w)-1.5w=48. With this, you get w =13.714285 so, it will take Bradley about 14 weeks to save enough money to purchase the football ticket.
