Answer: it would take 20 weeks before the amount in both accounts would be the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take either Ruben and Shawna to have the same amount of money in their account.
Let y represent the total amount that would be in Shawna's account after x weeks
Let z represent the total amount that would be in Ruben's account after x weeks
Shawna has $750 in the bank. She deposits $37.50 each week. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be
y = 37.5x + 750
Ruben has $850 in the bank. He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 every Monday,and he spends about $70.25 each week.. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be
z = 850 + 102.75x - 70.25x
z = 850 + 32.5x
To determine the number of weeks before the amount in both accounts will becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes
37.5x + 750= 850 + 32.5x
37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750
5x = 100
x = 100/5 = 20
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x + 2 = 
Multiply through by 16 to clear the fractions
10x + 32 = 57 ( subtract 32 from both sides )
10x = 25 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x =
=
