Question

Jake and Seth put some money into their money boxes every week. The amount of money (y), in dollars, in their money boxes after a certain amount of time (x), in weeks, is shown by the equations below: Jake: y = 5x + 85 Seth: y = 20x + 40 After how many weeks will Jake and Seth have the same amount of money in their money boxes and what will that amount be?

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 3 weeks to have the same amount of money. The amount will be 100 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake: y=5x+85

Seth: y=20x+40

5x+85=20x+40

Subtract 20x both sides

-15x+85=40

Subtract 85 both sides

-15x=-45

Divide -15 both sides

X=3

y=5x+85

5(3)+85

Y=100

y=20x+40

20(3)+40

60+40

Y=100
