Explanation pleaseeeeeeee
ASAPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sagot :

STEP ONE:
Set up the equation
45.25 + 7.25x = 25.25 + 9.75x
STEP TWO:
Subtract 7.25x from both sides
45.25 = 25.25 + 2.5x
STEP THREE:
Subtract 25.25 from both sides
20 = 2.5x
(Flip equation)
2.5x = 20
STEP FOUR:
Divide 2.5 from both sides
x = 8

Since x represents weeks, it will take 8 weeks for Brian and Dakota to have the same amount of money.

Hope this helped!
