Question

Carissa has $250 in her checking account and it’s saving $15 each week. Brooke has $750 in her checking account and it’s spending $10 each week. How many weeks will it take for Carissa and Brooke to have to the same amount of money in their accounts?

Answer 1

Explanation:

x = number of weeks

so, we need to see, what is the number of weeks it takes for both to have the same balance.

it takes both the same amount of weeks, of course.

so,

250 + 15x = 750 + 10x

15x = 500 + 10x

5x = 500

x = 100

it takes them 100 weeks to have the same amount of money in their accounts.

Answer 2

you just gotta add up what carissahas and subtract what Brooke has and you'll have the answer
