Question

Roberto got $30 for his birthday. He decides to save that

Answer 1

After 10 weeks, the boys will have the same amount in savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount Roberto starts with = $30

Amount added each week = $5

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

R(x) = 30+5x

Amount saved by Jack each week = $8

J(x) = 8x

When the amount will be same, the functions will be equal, therefore,

R(x) =J(x)

$30+5x=8x\\30=8x-5x\\30=3x\\3x=30$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\x=10$

After 10 weeks, the boys will have the same amount in savings.
