    -2.5

    Since he already has saved more money than he needs its going to be a negative.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Create a equation

    a. The equation must equal 240 because we know that is the total Jack is saving for

    b. He already has 260$ so we must add it within the equation

    c. We add 8x because we know he gets 8$ a week but since we dont know how many weeks we will use the variable x

    8x + 260 = 240

    2. Get x by itself. Do this by subtracting 260 to both sides of the equal sign

    8x = - 20

    3. Divide 8 to both sides of the equal sign

    x=-2.5
