Judy has $100 and Elenore has $75. Judy is saving $5 per day and Elenore is saving $7 per day
What equation would be used to find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved?
Let x be the number of days. The equation to find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved is:
$100 + $5x = $75 + $7x
To find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved, we can set up an equation.
Let's assume that "x" represents the number of days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved.
Judy's savings after "x" days can be represented as: 5x
Elenore's savings after "x" days can be represented as: 7x
To find the point where Judy's savings equal Elenore's savings, we can set up the following equation:
5x = 7x
This equation represents the point where the amount of money saved by Judy (5x) is equal to the amount of money saved by Elenore (7x).
To find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved, we need to set up an equation.
Let's assume that x represents the number of days it will take for them to have the same amount of money saved.
For Judy, the amount of money she will have saved after x days can be represented as: 5x
For Elenore, the amount of money she will have saved after x days can be represented as: 7x
Since we want to find the number of days when their saved amounts will be equal, we can set up the equation:
5x = 7x
Now we can solve for x to find the number of days.
