Question

HI I NEED HELP QUICKLY!

On a separate sheet of paper: Respond to the following question. Show work, explain, be neat
Ann and Sue are saving money. Ann begins with $20 and saves $5 per week. Sue begins with no money, but can save
$10 per week.
1. Write a System of Equations representing Ann and Sue's savings.
Let x= # of weeks; y= Total amount of money saved
2. How many weeks will it take for the two girls to have the same amount of money?
How much money will they have at that time?
*Solve using TWO of the three methods you have learned (Table, Graph, Equal Values).
*Solution must be SHOWN and STATED in each representation.

Answer 1

In 4 four weeks, they'll have the same amount of money

Explanation:

1. Ann: y=5x+20; Sue: y=10x

2. You have to set both equations equal to each other so, 5x+20=10x. Solve for x. Take 5x away from each side, 20=5x. Divide both sides by 5, 4=x.

With the equations, you can graph and where the two lines meet is where they'll have the same amount of money.
