Answer:

3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let after m months they saved same amount of money.

Given,

Saving of Jaclyn = $ 120,

Amount earned by him/her per month = $ 40,

So, the total amount contained by him/her in m months = Saving + earning for m months

= 120 + 40m,

Similarly, saving of Pedro = $ 180,

Amount earned by him/her per month = $ 20,

So, the total amount contained by him/her in m months = 180 + 20m

Thus, we can write,

120 + 40m = 180 + 20m

40m = 180 + 20m - 120

40m - 20m = 60

20m = 60

⇒ m = 60/20 = 3.

Hence, it will take 3 months before which Jaclyn and Pedro have saved the same amount of money.

Hope this helps u! if not sorry

Help me solve this equation 3x-7=4x
Sauron [17]
Hey!

Let's write it, 3x-7=4x
Add 7 to both sides,
3x-7+7=4x+7
3x=4x+7
Subtract 4x from both sides.
3x-4x=4x+7-4x
-x=7
Since we don't want a negative variable, we have to divide both sides by -1.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{7}{-1}
Our answer would be,
x=-7

Thanks!

Points Y and Z are the same distance from point X on a number line. The coordinate of point X is –7 and the coordinate of point
Mars2501 [29]
Since you know that point Y and point Z are equal distance form point F, you will need to know the distance between point Y, -1, and the distance between point X, -7. So, the total distance, after subtracting -1 from -7, is -6.  So, you will then subtract another -6 from -7, to get -13, which is the coordinate of point Z.
