1. Matthew decided that he would like to spend his summer working and saving his money. He begins the summer with no money in his account, but he is getting paid $160.00 per week to mow lawns. His brother Dillon began the summer with $345.00 and has decided that he will referee soccer games. He will make $45.00 per week. After how many weeks will Matthew and Dillon have the same amount of money?​

Answer: 3 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation: Matthew's pay goes up by $160 a week, so that's y=160x.

Dillon's pay is $45 a week, but started out with $345. So, that's y=45x+345.

So, they will have the same amount of money after 3 weeks.
