Jessica and raphael are saving money for concert tickets. jessica has $20 and saves 10 per week.

jessica came up with the following equation to figure out how much money she saves for any given week.

y=10x+20

raphael has $40 and saves $6 per week.

raphael created a table to show how much money he saves each week.

weeks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
amount saved 40 46 52 58 64 70 76 82 88
after saving for a certain number of weeks, jessica and raphael will have each saved the same amount of money.

how much money will they have each saved then?

They have the same amount on week 5 ($70)
The Answer would be: $70
((Got this correct on my quiz, If you need it explained, It is below))
The easiest way to do this is to not pay attention to the y=x equation, because the solution is already in the information, this may confuse you and youre wasting time to solve it. Jess has $20 BEFORE saving and gets $10 WEEKLY, Raph has $40 BEFORE saving and gets $6 WEEKLY. In the chart/information, add the amount it takes to get Jess up to $40 then add $10 for every week on going until both their balances are equal. They match on the 5th week with $70 // If the information is different substitute the names/numbers/etc. Hope this helped you and anyone else looking for the answer!
