In October, Greg and Thomas had the same amount of money in their savings accounts. In November, Greg deposited $120 into his account. Thomas increased the money in his account by 20%. When they compared their balances, they found that they were still equal. How much money did each person have in his account in October? $________

here is the answer for the first question:You have the formula, Velocity=distance/time hence we'll use that to solve for the velocity of both Cars A and B since Car A traveled for 2.4 hours, then we'll have Va = d/2.4 -----equation 1 since Car B traveled for 4 hours, then, Vb = d/4 -----equation 2 NOTE that the distance traveled by Cars A and B are equal getting the distance from equations 1 & 2 Va = d/2.4 d=2.4Va -------equation 3 Vb = d/4 d=4Vb -------equation 4 since distance of A and B are equal then we can equate equations 3&4 2.4Va=4Vb ------equation 5 The problem states that Car A traveled 22mph faster than car B. Therefore we'll have the equation as: Va=Vb+22 -------equation 6 substituting equation 6 to equation 5 we'll have 2.4Va=4Vb 2.4(Vb+22)=4Vb 2.4Vb +22(2.4)=4Vb 4Vb-2.4Vb=52.8 1.6Vb=52.8 Vb=33mph substituting Vb to equation 6 Va=Vb+22 Va=33+22 Va=55mph
thanks
you will have to set this up into two equations and then use substitution or elimination. so the first equation would be 18x+19=y can you figure out the second equation from here?
this is for the second question
