In 6 months, they will have same amount of money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of months

Given,

Joe's savings = $200

Per month deposit = $50

J(x)=200+50x Eqn 1

Kathy savings = $50

Per month deposit = $75

K(x)=50+75x Eqn 2

For same amount;

J(x)=K(x)

$200+50x=50+75x\\50x-75x=50-200\\-25x=-150$

Dividing both sides by -25;

$\frac{-25x}{-25}=\frac{-150}{-25}\\x=6$

In 6 months, they will have same amount of money.
