Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money

we now that

<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1

and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2

</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks

the answer is 
4 weeks

aniked [119]
The greatest common factor between any list of numbers is the biggest multiple that they all share.
For example, 5, 35 and 50 all share 5 as the biggest common factor, making 5 the greatest common factor.

Now that we have our example and definition out of the way, let's make out the factors.

12:
1 x 12
2 x 6
3 x 4

40:
1 x 40
2 x 20
4 x 10
5 x 8

60:
1 x 60
2 x 30
3 x 20
4 x 15
5 x 12
6 x 10

Now that we have our factors, let's look for the biggest number that they have in common.

They all share 4 as the biggest number.

Your GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is 4.

I hope this helps!
