They will have same amount in 45 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Starting amount of Nancy = $425

Per week saving = $25

Let,

x represent the number of weeks.

N(x) = 25x+425

Starting amount of Seamus = $875

Per week saving = $15

S(x) = 15x+875

For same amount;

N(x) = S(x)

[tex]25x+425=15x=875\\25x-15x=875-425\\10x=450[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 10

[tex]\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{450}{10}\\x=45[/tex]

They will have same amount in 45 weeks.
