Jenny started with $5 in her piggy bank and earns an

allowance of $2 every 3 days.
Mika had saved $16 in his piggy bank from babysitting
but he spends $3 a day to buy a soda on his way home
from school.
Let x represent the number of days that have passed and
y represent the amount of money they have.
When will Jenny and Mika have the same amount of
money?
