After how many weeks will jake and seth have the same amount of money jake=y=5x+85 seth=y=20x+40 so when seth=jake or y=y or 5x+85=20x+40 then they have same ammount of money so solve for when they are equal 5x+85=20x+40 subtract 40 from both sides 5x+45=20x subtract 5x from both sides 45=15x divide boht isdes yb 15 3=x
after 3 weeks
then subsitute 3 into the equation 20x+40=y 20(3)+40=y 60+40=y 100=y
