Julie had $400 in her savings account at the beginning of the summer each week she took $20 out of her account Steven had $100 in his account at the beginning of summer each week he added $30 to his account after how many weeks did Julie and Steven have the same amount of money in their accounts
400-20x = 100+30x
I think that this is helpful because on my math homework this question came up and I got it right. I hope this website helps me more because I have a D in pre-algebra right now.
To find out how many weeks it takes for Julie and Steven to have the same amount of money in their accounts, we need to set up an equation and solve for the number of weeks.
Let's assume x represents the number of weeks that have passed.
For Julie:
The amount of money she has after x weeks can be calculated as: 400 - 20x
For Steven:
The amount of money he has after x weeks can be calculated as: 100 + 30x
To find when they have the same amount of money, we set up the equation:
400 - 20x = 100 + 30x
To solve for x, we rearrange the equation:
400 - 100 = 30x + 20x
300 = 50x
Dividing both sides by 50:
x = 300/50
x = 6
Therefore, it will take 6 weeks for Julie and Steven to have the same amount of money in their accounts.
