Answer 1

Answer: 10 months

Explanation:

I assume you mean the equation is 30m+350=25m+400. You can solve this using simple Algebra.

Subtract 25m from both sides

You should get 5m+350=400

Then, subtract 350 from both sides

You should get 5m=50

Then, you can divide 50 by 5 to isolate the variable

You should get m=10

The answer is 10 months
