weeks

Answer 1

It will take 4 weeks for Lindsey and Michael to save same amount of money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Michael starts with = $20

Amount saved per week = $5

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

M(x) = 5x+20

Lindsey starts with no money.

Amount saved per week = $10

L(x) = 10x

For the amount to be same;

M(x) = L(x)

$5x+20=10x\\20=10x-5x\\20=5x\\5x=20$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{20}{5}\\x=4$

It will take 4 weeks for Lindsey and Michael to save same amount of money.
