Let's represent Jeff's weight as an equation and Darius' weight as an equation where
m equals the number of months they have been gaining/losing pounds.


Jeff's weight can be modeled by the equation below:


J = 120 + 10m


Darius' weight can be modeled by the equation below:


D = 150 + 4m


Since we are trying to find when the weights will be equal, let's set the equations equal to each other and solve:


120 + 10m = 150 + 4m

  • Set equations equal to each other


120 + 6m = 150

  • Subtract
    4m from both sides


6m = 30

  • Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation


m = 5

  • Divide both sides of the equation by 6

We have found m = 5. This means that the number of months it will take for their weights to be equal is 5.
