Moe and Larry each need to raise $200 to go on a trip with their school band.

Mo has $35 in savings and earns $20 per week delivering papers.
Larry has $60 in savings and earns $10 per we do yard work.
Each student can write an equation using the
following "let" statements:
Let X be the number of weeks work and Y be the amount of money saved.
How long will it take for a have to work to have enough money for the trip ?​

Moe Larry

35 + 20x 60 + 10x

35 + 20x = 60 + 10x

(show work)

x = 2.5

Moe and Larry will have the same amount of money in their savings accounts after 2.5 weeks.
