Question

Oth John's parents and Marco's parents decide to start a college fund for their children. The expressions below represent the value of each college fund after w weeks. John's College Fund: 43 w + 1814 12 Marco's College Fund: 25 w + 1744

Answer 1

Explanation:

The question is not clear on what to solve for, but we can solve for the number of weeks in which the two funds will have the same amount.

let the total fund funds be y

and the number of weeks be w

For John's fund the expression is

y=45w+1814------1

Marco's College Fund

y=25 w+1744---------2

equating 1 and 2 we have

45w+1814=25w+1744

45w-25w=1744-1814

20w=-70

divide both sides by 20 we have

w=-70/20

w=-3.5

this means that in 3 and half weeks the two funds will have the same amount in them
