Question

Joe currently has 18 rocks in her collection and gains for each week. Louis currently has 30 wants in his collection and gains three each week after how many weeks with y’all and Louis have the same number of rocks in her collection

Answer 1

Let's calculate the number of weeks it will take for Joe and Louis to have the same number of rocks in their collections.

Joe starts with 18 rocks and gains Y rocks every week.
Louis starts with 30 rocks and gains 3 rocks every week.

For Joe and Louis to have the same number of rocks, we need to find the number of weeks it takes for their collections to be equal.
Let's represent this number of weeks as 'w'.

Joe's total number of rocks after 'w' weeks will be: 18 + wY
Louis's total number of rocks after 'w' weeks will be: 30 + 3w

For Joe and Louis to have the same number of rocks:
18 + wY = 30 + 3w

Simplifying the equation:
wY - 3w = 30 - 18
w(Y - 3) = 12
w = 12 / (Y - 3)

The number of weeks it will take for Joe and Louis to have the same number of rocks will be given by 12 divided by (Y - 3).

Note: The value of 'Y' representing Joe's weekly gain is not provided in the question, so we need to know that in order to calculate the number of weeks accurately.
