Respuesta :

Answer:

After 7 months, the girls will have the same amount in their accounts. They will have 175.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria:

Starts with $105

Adds $10 each month

Jana Rae:

Starts with $0

Adds $25 each month

Set up an equation for both Maria and Jana.

m will represent the number of months.

Maria: 105 + 10m

Jana: 0 + 25m

You can do guess and check.

Let’s say m is equal to 6.

Subsitute m with 6 for both equations and check if they both end up having the same answer.

Maria: 105 + 10(6) = 165

Jana: 0 + 25(6) = 150

Is 165 and 150 equivalent? No

Let’s try m = 7 and do that same thing.

Maria: 105 + 10(7) = 175

Jana: 0 + 25(7) = 175

Now is the answer equal? Yes

So therefore, after 7 months, the girls will have the same amount in their accounts. They will have 175.

Hope this helps! Pls mark me brainliest! (only if u want, I won’t mind if u don’t)
