Question

John has $220 in his account and adds $25 to it each month Cheryl has $100 in her account and adds $35 each to her account. How many dollars will they have in their accounts when the amounts are the same

Answer 1

Answer: In 12 months they will have the same amount, which will be $520.

Step-by-step explanation:

220 + 25m = 100 + 35m

m = month

Subtract 100 from each side

120 + 25m = 35m

Subtract 25m from each side

120 = 10m

Divide each side by 10

12 = m

Answer 2

Answer:

12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

220 + 25m = 100 + 35m

-100 on each side  of the equal sign

120 + 25m = 35m

-25m from each side  of the equal sign

120 = 10m

/10 by each side of the equal sign

12 = m

It would take 12 months for them to reach the same amount.
