Question

Heather and Alyssa are saving money for summer break. Heather currently has $50 in her savings account and she will save $25 per week until summer break. Alyssa currently has $200 in her savings account and she will save $10 per week. They want to know when they will have the same amount of money in their bank accounts. Which system of equations represents this situation?

Answer 1

Tilt your head back and allow your mouth to hang open widely.

Contract the back of the throat and breathe deeply through your mouth.

Inhale and exhale completely while relaxing the shoulders.

When the yawn comes “reach and extend into it” to stretch the jaw muscles.

Answer 2

10 weeks, Substituion Equation.

Explanation:

(Assume that x= 'per week').

We can write this as 50 + 25x=y for Heather's savings, &

200 + 10x=y for Alssa's savings.

We can combine these equations to make 200 +10x= 50+25x, because we know 50+25x=y, like we found out in the first equation. We can now subtract 25x from each side, and subtarct 200 from each side, to get

10x - 25x = 50 - 200, which can be simplified to -15x=-150. If we divided each side by -15, we get 10. Therefore, it will take 10 weeks for them to have the same amount of money. I think this is the Substituaion Equation
