    Explanation:

    If Jason puts away $200 per month in savings, the money saved (y) in x months is given by the equation: y = 200x.

    Jason collects a loan of $750 and pays with no interest if he pays $100 per month. Therefore in x months, Jason would have paid 100x as part of the $750 loan.

    The money remaining for Jason to pay after x months is given as: 750 - 100x.

    To figure out when his savings will equal the remaining amount he owes on the television, the money saved (y) in x months is to be equal to The money remaining for Jason to pay after x months. That is:

    750 - 100x = 200x

    200x + 100x = 750

    300x = 750

    x = 750/300

    x = 2.5 months
