paste here in your notebook. no glue beyond this line

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Kyla's savings

First, find how many 2-week periods are in 18 weeks: $\frac{18}{2} = 9$. Then multiply by her 2-week savings: $9 \times 8 = 72$

Step2: Calculate Angel's savings

Substitute $x=18$ into Angel's equation: $y = 4.50 \times 18 = 81$

Step3: Find the difference

Subtract Kyla's savings from Angel's: $81 - 72 = 9$

Answer:

$\$9$
