After how many hours will jackie and Brandon have the same amount of problems done? At that time, how many problems will they each have completed? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the number of hours worked. Then:
7+4n=15+2n
2n=8
n=4
After 4 hours, they will have both completed 23 problems. ☺☺☺☺
