Question

Perry currently has 180 dollars and is spending $10 per day nick has no money but is earning $8 each day . After how many days will they have the same amount of money

Answer 1

Answer:

180-10x=8x

+10x +10x

180=18x

180/18 = 18x/18

10=x

So therefore in 10 days, both people will have the same amount of money.

(x represents number of days, and we are solving for it.)
