Bella and Heather put some money into their money boxes every week. The amount of money (y), in dollars, in their money boxes after a certain amount of time (x), in weeks, is shown by the equations below: Bella: y = 25x + 60 Heather: y = 30x + 10 After how many weeks will Bella and Heather have the same amount of money in their money boxes, and what is that amount? 10 weeks, $10 10 weeks, $310 9 weeks, $310 310 weeks, $10
Is it B
@Pumpkin1102 It is the last one. D.
you can solve this by setting the two equations equal to each other 25x + 60 =30x + 10 or you can use elimination. multiply the -1 to get -y = -25x + -60 and add to the 2nd equation y= 30x + 10 you get -y+y= -25x + 30 x + -60 + 10 -y+y is 0 30x -25 x is 5x -60 + 10 is -50 0 = 5x - 50 add 50 to both sides to get 50 = 5x x = 50/5 = 10
they tell you **certain amount of time (x), in weeks,*** so x is 10 weeks
The amount of money (y), in dollars you need to find y, when x is 10 you can use either equation
