Answer:

The two friends will have same account balance in 10 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount deposited by Reid = $100

Amount deposited each week = $40

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

R(x) = 40x + 100

Amount deposited by Akira each week = $50

A(x) = 50x

For the two friends to have same account balance,

A(x) = R(x)

50x=40x+100

50x-40x=100

10x=100

Dividing both sides by 10

[tex]\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{100}{10}\\x=10[/tex]

Hence,

The two friends will have same account balance in 10 weeks.
