Algebra Set up a system of equations for this word problem
Steve started with $250 and spent $25 per week.
Chelsea started with $30 and saved $30 per week.
Use x for time Use y for savings
A.) Write and graph equations to represent each situation
B.) When did Steve and Chelsea have the same amount of money?
C.)Solution to system of equations

PLEASE SHOW STEPS TO SOLVE THE EQUATIONS THANKS A MILLION



Answer :

a)
*Numbers represent dollars + x denotes time in weeks
Steve: y= 250 - 25x
Chelsea: y= 30 + 30x

b)
250 - 25x = 30 + 30x
220 = 55x
x = 4
Steve and Chelsea save the same amount of money after 4 weeks.

C is pretty much the same question as B.  Hope this helped.  You'll still have to graph both equations though.
