Answer 1

Laura has been adding $50 to her savings every month which means the equation would be 200 + 50 for each month that she has been adding to her saving account, Laura has been putting money in her saving for nine months since each month shes adding $50, The similiarties are that they both opened an account with $200 but the differences is that Laura has been adding $50 and Lauras brother has been adding a different amount as Laura.
