Question

In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the following equation: Peter opened his account with $910 and withdrew $40 per week. Marla opened her account with $470 and withdrew $20 weekly. In how many weeks will their accounts be equal?

Answer 1

What you would do is you would keep subtracting (I recommend a calculator for this task) from both accounts until you get an equal amount for each. You would also have to record this down that way you know each time what you got. (And please do not put the calculator part). Really hope this helps!!!
