Question

Two families are saving money for a vacation. The Juarez family has saved $1000 and will save $50 more each week. The Kim family has saved $500 and will save $75 more each week. Write a system of equations to represent how much money each family will save.

Answer 1

There are many ways you could put this let me demonstrate.

Explanation:

If they were to do this for a year (52 weeks) that would be 50x52=2600+1000=3600. Then 75x52=$3900+500=$4400. but if you were to cut that time in half to 6 months it would go something like this. 50x26=1300+1000=2300. Then 75x26=1950+500=2450. It all has to do with the time. I hope this helped.
