The International Business Club starts the school year with $250.50 in their account. They spend $35 each month on activities. The Future Agricultural Leaders Club starts with $300 and spends $45.25 each month.

Which equation can be used to find m, the number of months it will take for both accounts to have the same amount of money?

250.5 + 35m = 300 + 45.25m
250.5 – 35m = 300 – 45.25m
250.5m – 35 = 300m – 45.25
250.5m + 35 = 300m + 45.25
