1. **State the problem:** You want to find out if you have enough money to buy a gaming console costing 230 after saving for 8 weeks. 2. **Given expression:** The amount saved after $n$ weeks is given by the formula: $$50 + 15n$$ where 50 is the initial amount saved and 15 is the amount saved each week. 3. **Calculate the amount saved after 8 weeks:** $$50 + 15 \times 8$$ 4. **Perform the multiplication:** $$50 + 120$$ 5. **Add the amounts:** $$170$$ 6. **Compare with the console price:** You need 230 but have saved only 170 after 8 weeks. 7. **Conclusion:** You do not have enough money to buy the console after 8 weeks because $170 < 230$.
