Question

Hii, i need help with this word problem :)

Answer 1

Multiply the amount per week by the number of weeks (x) and add that to the starting amount they had. Set those to equal each other and solve for x:

222 + 10x = 148 + 12x

Subtract 10x from both sides:

222 = 148 + 2x

Subtract 148 from both sides

74 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

X = 37

Answer: 37 weeks
