Write an equation or system of equations to solve the problem below.

apollo and zeus are both on diets. apollo currently weighs 105 kg and is gaining 2 kg per month. zeus currently weighs 130 kg and is losing 3 kg per month. in how many months will they weigh the same?

Equations:

2x+105=-3x+130

subtract 2x from both sides

105= -5x+130

Subtract 130 from both sides

-5x= -25

isolate the variable

x=5

Plug back in

2(5)+105= -3(5)+130

115= 115

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
