Answer 1

We have to find how many weeks will it be before Store B sells as many mugs as Store A.

This happens when both equations have the same value:

`m_a(w)=m_b(w)`

If we equal both equations, we can find w as:

`\begin{gathered} 11w+67=17w+13 \\ 67-13=17w-11w \\ 54=6w \\ w=(54)/(6) \\ w=9 \end{gathered}`

Answer: 9 weeks (w = 9).
