They will both have the same amount in the bank after 10 weeks

<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change, slope or gradient

<h3>How to determine the solution to the system?</h3>

A system of linear equations is a collection of at least two linear equations.

In this case, we have

<u>Nancy</u>

Initial = 400

Rate = 10

So, the equation is

y = 400 + 10x

Initial = 700

Spending = 20

So, the equation is

y = 700 - 20x

When they both have the same amount of money in the bank, we have

700 - 20x = 400 + 10x

Evaluate the like terms

30x = 300

Divide by 30

x = 10

Hence, they will both have the same amount in the bank after 10 weeks
