Juan and Alex are both saving money for college. Juan saves $150 per month and currently has $2000 in the bank. Alex saves $250 per month and has only $1000 in the bank. Not counting the interest they will earn, how many months will it take until both boys have saved the same amount of money?

Question

anonymous · Answer

For Juan he will have:
2000 + 150*x
And for Alex:
1000 + 250*x

Where x is the months.
Now all you have to do is to solve:
2000 + 150x = 1000 + 250x
