Answer 1

Equations:

100 + 35m
50 + 35m

Steps:
100 + 35m = 50 + 35m

Set the equations equal to each other.
  

100 + 35m = 50 + 35m
-50              - 50

Subtract 50 from both sides of equation to isolate the variable on one side.

50+35m=35m
     -35m  -35m

Subtract 35m from both sides of equation.

50=m

In fifty months, they will have the same amount of money. They will each contain $1850 dollars.

Hope this helps.
