Answer:

15 months

Explanation:

Let's x represent the number of months

We Know

Phillip has $100 in the bank and deposits $18 per month.

18x + 100

Gil has $145 in the bank and deposits $15 per month.

15x + 145

For how many months will Gil have a larger bank balance than Phillip?

Let's solve

15x + 145 > 18x + 100

-3x + 145 > 100

-3x > -45

x < 15

So, for 15 months, Gil has a larger bank balance than Phillip.
