After x weeks:
Jules will have: 1,200 + 40 x.
Kelsey will have: 400 + 50 x.
If we want to know in how many weeks will they have the same amount of money, we will make an equation:
400 + 50 x = 1,200 + 40 x
50 x - 40 x = 1,200 - 400
10 x = 800
x = 800 : 10
x = 80
Answer: In 80 weeks they will have the same amount of money.
2 inches per minute. Just divide the total amount of inchs by the number of minutes and you have your unit rate.

Answer: $8.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of a bread = x
Let the price of a tarts = x - 1
If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:
3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5
3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5
3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5
3.5x = 30
x = 30/3.5
x = 8.6
