1)  How many weeks will Jake and Seth be equal? set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

5x + 85 = 20x + 40

45 = 15x

<u><em>x = 3 weeks</em></u>

2)  How much money will that be? plug x = 3 back into the equation to solve for y:

Jake:  5(3) + 85 = $100
Seth:  20(3) + 40 = $100

<u><em>answer is $100</em></u>

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

the answer is
3 weeks, $100

Answer:

60% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out percentage change you takeaway the original number by the new number (New number-Original number) in this case 24-60=(-36), then divide the decreased amount by the original number and multiply the answer by 100 (Decrease amount ÷ Original number x 100) for this question you'd do (-36)÷60=(-0.6) then (-0.6)x100=(-60).

The minus shows its a decrease in percentage by 60%

(I hope this helps srry if it doesn't make sense)
