Jasmine has only $200 in her account but can save $20 a week from her paycheck. How many weeks will it take before the amount in each savings account is the same?

Answer: 10 weeks
Explanation:
Nilda's money = 250 +15x being x the number of weeks that have passed
Lona's money= 200+20x
If they have the same amount, then
250+15x=200+20x
250-200=(20-15)x
50=5x
50/5=x
10=x
