Nancy started the year with $435 in the bank and is saving $25 a week. Shane started with $875 and is spending $15 a week. When will they both have the same amount of money in the bank? _____ weeks

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is 11 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this case is:

435 + 25 x = 875 - 15 x  =>  25 x + 15 x = 875 - 435 => 40 x = 440

x = 440 / 40 = 11

x = 11 weeks

God with you!!!

They both have the same amount of money in the bank in 11 weeks.

What is the solution to the equation?

The distribution of weights to the variables involved that establishes the equilibrium in the calculation is referred to as a result.

Let x be the number of weeks and y be the amount of balance in the account.

Nancy started the year with $435 in the bank and is saving $25 a week. Then the equation will be

y = 25x + 435    ...1

Shane started with $875 and is spending $15 a week. Then the equation will be

y = -15x + 875     ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then the number of weeks will be

25x + 435 = -15x + 875

25x + 15x = 875 - 435

40x = 440

x = 440 / 40

x = 11

They both have the same amount of money in the bank in 11 weeks.
