Question 984211: Paul and John both want to save money. Paul already had $20 saved and is going to save
$5 a week. John had no money saved, but is going to save $9 a week. Write two
equations to model the money (m) they will save after any number of weeks (w). When
will they have the same amount of money saved?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Paul has $20 and want to save $5 per week so...5x+20 (x is number of weeks)
john has no money saved and want to save $9 per week so....9x..(ukno what x is)
now set both to equal each other and solve for x.....
9x=5x+20
9x-5x=20
4x=20
---x=5weeks---
now check it
9*5=5*5+20
45=25+20
45=45
thx....practice harder..!!
