<PRE><B>Question 930428</B>
james and max are saving up their allowances to buy laptop computers. 
James has  saved $30 already and a $5 allowance each week. 
y = 30 + 5x
--------------------
Max has saved $10 already and earns a $10 allowance each week.
y = 10 + 10x
--------------------
 Explain how do you know if the linear systeam will have one solution no solution, no solution
Ans: One solution because the equations have different slopes.
---------------------
 Solve your systeam algbraically using either substitution method or the elimination method
30+5x = 10 + 10x
5x = 20
x = 4 weeks
===================

 After how many more weeks will james and max have saved the same amount of money?
ans: 4 weeks
--------------------
How would a graph help you determine your answer?
Ans: Find the x=value of the point of intersection of the graphs.
-----------------------
 Would you find it easier to solve the liner systeam algebraically or graphically? explain why.
Ans: Algebraic----Graphing takes more time and it is hard to
be sure what the point of intersection is.
