Answer: John's situation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each situation.

John’s situation:

The amount of money that John has (y) is equal to his school account (40) minus the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he spends per day( 3)

y =40-3x

As days pass by, John has less money (negative rate of change)

Judy's situation

The amount of money that Judy has in her savings account (y) is equal to the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he saves per day (20/2)

y = x (20/2)

If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x}$ and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:
