You have $50 in your savings account and plan to deposit $10 each week. Your friend has $25 in her savings account and plans to also deposit $10 each week.

A. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

B. Will your friend's account ever have the same amount of money as your account? Explain.

For part B it's no because if you already have 50 dollars and she has 25, then you already have more money than your friend. Hope this helps

Answer: 50+10x

Answer: 25+10x

Answer: No. 50+10x=25+10x. In simplified form, it is 0 =25 which is undefined (no solution).
