ana starts with $300 and saves $50 per day.
\n" ); document.write( "ojo has $1860 and spends $70 per day.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x be the number of days.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let y1 be the amount of money that ana will have in x days.
\n" ); document.write( "let y2 be the amount of money that ojo will have in x days.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the equation for ana is y1 = 300 + 50x
\n" ); document.write( "the equation for ojo is y2 = 1860 - 70x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "they will have the same amount when y1 is equal to y2.
\n" ); document.write( "y1 is equal to y2 when 300 + 50x is equal to 1860 - 70x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your equation to solve is 300 + 50x = 1860 - 70x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 300 from both sides of this equation and add 70x to both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "70x + 50x = 1860 - 300
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:
\n" ); document.write( "120x = 1560
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by 120 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ana and ojo will have the same amount of money in 13 days.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "300 + 50*13 = 950
\n" ); document.write( "1860 - 70*13 = 950\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution is 13 days.
\n" ); document.write( "
