Question

Ashley and Kris are saving money for a vacation. Ashley currently has

$2,500 and is working hard to save $50 per month. Kris only has $1,000 in
savings but is saving $200 per month. In how many months will they have
the same amount in savings?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) y = 50x + 2500

2) y = 200x + 1000

if we build a system with the two equations, we have:

50x+2500 = 200x + 1000

150x = 1500

x = 10

y = 2000 + 1000 = 3000

3) 10

4) $3000
