Joy and Cullen 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:
Joy: y = 30x + 20
Cullen: y = 20x + 90
After how many weeks will Joy and Cullen have the same amount of money in their money boxes, and what is that amount?
6 weeks, $150
230 weeks, $7
7 weeks, $150
7 weeks, $230

y = 30x + 20
20x + 90 = 30x + 20 ... Replace y with 20x+90
20x + 90 - 90 = 30x + 20 - 90 ... Subtract 90 from both sides.
20x + 0 = 30x - 70
20x = 30x - 70
20x = -70 + 30x
20x - 30x = -70 + 30x - 30x ... Subtract 30x from both sides.
-10x = -70 + 0x -10x = -70 x = ?
