Answer:

option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation: [tex]8x + 60 = 4x + 100[/tex]

Lets make two equations

[tex]Amount = 8x+60[/tex]

60 is the initial amount and 8 is the amount saves per week

Jason has $60 and saves $8 per week

[tex]Amount =4x+100[/tex]

100 is the initial amount and 4 is the amount saves per week

Matt has $1000 and saves $4 per week

[tex]8x + 60 = 4x + 100[/tex]

Jason's amount is equal to Matt's amount

So option D is correct
