Answer 1

Answer: By the 8th week.

Explanation:

Let the time that matteo and luca have the same amount of money be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

400 - 10x = 200 + 15x

Collect like terms

400 - 200 = 15x + 10x

200 = 25x

x = 200/25

x = 8

Matteo and Luca will have the same amount of money by the 8th week.
