Question

Mary Ann and Carlos are each saving for new scooters. Mary Ann started out with $10 in her bank account and makes $6 per hour. Carlos starts out with $2 in his bank account and makes $8 per hour. After how many hours of work will Mary Ann and Carlos have saved the same amount?

Answer 1

4 hours

Explanation:

6x+10= 8x+ 2

subtract 2 from each side

6x+8= 8x

subtract 6x from both sides

8= 2x

divide each side by 2

4=x

hope this helps!
