The number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks

Given:

<em>Amount with Sam </em>= $2,500

<em>Additional savings each week</em> = $40

<em>Amount with Marshal</em> = $7,300

<em>Amount spent each week</em> = $60

let

x = <em>number of weeks</em>

<em>Sam equation:</em>

2500 + 40x

<em>Marshall's equation:</em>

7300 - 60x

Equate both

2500 + 40x = 7300 - 60x

<em>collect like terms</em>

2500 - 7300 = - 60x - 40x

-4800 = -100x

divide both sides by - 100

x = -4800 / -100

x = 48 weeks

Therefore, the number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks

-⅔ (6x +9) = 18 I really need some help and understanding with this one. Thanks in advance!!
Sever21 [200]

-⅔ (6x + 9) = 18

Apply distributive property. Multipy -⅔ to 6x and 9.

-4x - 6 = 18

Add 6 to both sides so -4x can be alone.

-4x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6

-4x = 24

To get x alone, divide both sides by -4.

-4/-4x = 24/-4

x = -6

x = -6 is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more help or if I got something wrong.
