Answer 1

Answer: 5 months

Step-by-step explanation: so, what you have to do is add up 120 5 times so in total you will have 600 so the answer is 5 months.

Answer 2

Answer: 5 Months

Explanation:

Alright, we know he will make $120 a month (since 50 + 70 = 120)

(Let's have months=m)

So now we need to figure out for how many months (m) will he need to get to $600.

We know 120 a month so we can get the equation: 120m=600

Now all we have to do is solve for m

Divide both sides by two to get m=5

Checking Answers

70(5)=350

50(5)=250

250+350=600

So this solution works.
