Question

Deb has two paintings in her portfolio

and paints three more each week. Kay has
twelve paintings in her portfolio and paints
two more each week. After how many
weeks will Deb and Kay have the same
number of paintings?

Answer 1

10 weeks

This is basically giving the equation of
3x + 2 = 2x + 12
You would subtract 2x from both sides, and 2 from both sides, and you would get x = 10
