Eric and Jennifer both plan to run for a spot on the school board in their city. They must each collect a certain number of signatures to get their name on the ballot. So far, Eric has 20 signatures, but Jennifer just started and doesn't have any yet. Eric is collecting signatures at an average rate of 17 per hour, while Jennifer can get 19 signatures every hour. Assuming that their rate of collection stays the same, eventually the two will have collected the same number of signatures. How many signatures will they both have? How many hours will have gone by?
