Question 116525
the balances of two investments are changing at steady rates. 
one investment of $1450 is decreasing by $105.75 each month.
EQUATION:
Balance = 1450 - 105.75x where "x" is the number of months.
---------------------

the other investment of $825 is increasing by $144.25 each month
Balance = 825 + 144.25x where x is the number of months
---------------------

write and solve an equation to find how many months it takes the balances of the investments to be the same.
EQUATION:
1450-105.75x = 825+144.25x
625 = 250 x
x = 2.5 months
