Moe and Larry each need to raise $200 to go on a trip with their school band. Moe has $35 in saving and earns $20 per week delivering papers. Larry has $60 in saving and earns $10 per week doing yard work.
a.) Find the time ( in weeks) when Moe and Larry will have the same amount of money in their saving accounts.
-------
Moe money: 35+20x where x is the number of weeks
--------
Larry money: 60 + 10x where x is the number of weeks
-------
Solve:
35 + 20x = 60+10x
10x = 25
x = 2 1/2 weeks
