Question

Maria and Curtis both study a second language. Maria studies German 3 hours per week, and Curtis studies French 2 hours per week. Curtis has already studied 4 hours when Maria begins her studying. After how many weeks will they have studied the same number of hours?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can start solving the problem by using the following equation:

Let x be the number of weeks they have studied.

Maria: 3x hours (since Maria studies 3 hours per week)

Curtis: 2x + 4 hours (since Curtis studies 2 hours per week and has already studied 4 hours)

Now we need to find the point in time when Maria's and Curtis's total number of hours studied is equal.

3x = 2x + 4

Subtracting x from both sides we get:

2x = 4

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

x = 2

So after 2 weeks, Maria and Curtis will have studied the same number of hours.
