#3# weeks

Explanation:

Let #x# weeks are taken to grow #33# tomatoes. Since Sally already has #5# tomatoes & grows #11# tomatoes each week then total tomatoes in #x# weeks will be equal to #38#

#5+11x=38#

#11x=38-5#

#11x=33#

#x=33/11#

#x=3#

Thus, it takes #3# weeks for Sally to have total #38# tomatoes
