Explanation:

Pete has already completed 27 missions. Pete plans to complete 3 missions per week

Let x represents weeks

Games completed = 3x + 27

Sophie has only completed 13 missions. Sophie plans to complete 5 missions per week.

Games completed = 5x + 13

3x + 27 = 5x + 13

27 - 13 = 5x - 3x

2x = 14

x = 7

By the seventh week, they would have completed equal number of games,
