To find the number of weeks for Andre and Elena to have the same savings, we can set up an equation.
Andre's savings after x weeks can be represented by the equation:
Andre's savings = $75 + $20 * x
Elena's savings after x weeks can be represented by the equation:
Elena's savings = $50 + $20 * x
Setting the two equations equal to each other, we get:
$75 + $20 * x = $50 + $20 * x
Simplifying this equation, we get:
$75 = $50
Since this equation has no solution, there is no number of weeks where Andre and Elena will have the same amount of savings.
Andre and Elena are saving money.Andre starts with $75 in his savings account ad adds $20 per wee. Elena starts with $50 in her savings account and adds $20 each week. When will Andre and Elena have the same amount of savings?
