At the beginning of the year, Jocelyn had $35 in savings and saved an

additional $17 each week thereafter. Sydney started the year with $95 and
saved $12 every week. Let J represent the amount of money Jocelyn has
saved t weeks after the beginning of the year and let S represent the amount
of money Sydney has saved t weeks after the beginning of the year. Write an
equation for each situation, in terms of t, and determine the interval of time
when Jocelyn has more in savings than Sydney.

J = 17t + 35

S = 12t + 95

Again, I'm not sure how to do the second part
