D ) Jason has $60 and Matt has $100. Jason saves $8 per week and Matt saves $4 per week. What is x, the number of weeks it will take for Jason and Matt to have the same amount of money?

Explanation:

Answer 2

option D is correct

Explanation:

the equation:
`8x + 60 = 4x + 100`

Lets make two equations

`Amount = 8x+60`

60 is the initial amount and 8 is the amount saves per week

Jason has $60 and saves $8 per week

`Amount =4x+100`

100 is the initial amount and 4 is the amount saves per week

Matt has $1000 and saves $4 per week

`8x + 60 = 4x + 100`

Jason's amount is equal to Matt's amount

So option D is correct
