Question

50 POINTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. Sienna has $8 and is saving $3 per week. Jacob has $6 and is saving $4 per week. Which model represents the equation that can determine when Sienna will have the same amount of money as Jacob?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C (the third one).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ represent the amount of weeks.

Sienna has $8, and she saves $3 per week.

In other words, after $x$ weeks, she will have $3x+8$ dollars.

Similarly, Jacob has $6 and is saving $4 per week.

In other words, after $x$ weeks, he will have $4x+6$ dollars.

Choice C is the only one that represents this scenario:

(For Sienna:) three (green) $x$ bars with eight $1s$ equals

(For Jacob:) four (green) $x$ bars with six $1s$.

Choice C is correct.
