Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of weeks they are saving
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+A+\"$ = amount saved
\n" ); document.write( "Anisa's equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+35.5+%2B+4.25n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Nadia's equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+24.25+%2B+5.5n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Set amounts saved equal to eachother
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+35.5+%2B+4.25n+=+24.25+%2B+5.5n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25n+=+11.25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In 9 weeks they will have the same amount
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+35.5+%2B+4.25%2A9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+35.5+%2B+38.25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+73.75+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+24.25+%2B+5.5%2A9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+24.25+%2B+49.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A+=+73.75+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
