Answer:

x = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)

The variable x is the amount the student needs to save each month in addition to his usual saved amount of $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

350 = 12(x + 20)

Multiply out brackets:  350 = 12x + 240

Subtract 240 from both sides:  110 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12:  9 1/6 = x

x = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)

The variable x is the amount the student needs to save each month in addition to his usual saved amount of $20.
