Determine number of weeks where both will be equal.

Represent weeks with w.

For Tony, the expression is:

`10 + 4w`

For Marco, the expression is:

`60 + 2w`

To determine yhe number of weeks, we equate both expressions.

`10 + 4w = 60 + 2w`

`4w - 2w = 60 - 10`

`2w = 50`

Solve for w

`w = 50/2`

`w = 25`
