same amount?

pls help and give a step by step explanation

Answer 1

Number of week they have same amount = 4 week

Explanation:

Given:

Amount Joe have = $14

Joe's saving per week = $10

Amount Josh have = $26

Josh saving per week = $7

Find:

Number of week they have same amount

Assume;

Number of week they have same amount = a

So,

(14 + 10a) = (26 + 7a)

3a = 12

a = 4

So,

Number of week they have same amount = 4 week
