1) How many weeks will Jake and Seth be equal? set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:
5x + 85 = 20x + 40
45 = 15x
x = 3 weeks
2) How much money will that be? plug x = 3 back into the equation to solve for y:
Jake: 5(3) + 85 = $100
Seth: 20(3) + 40 = $100
answer is $100
5x + 85 = 20x + 40
