Solving Systems by Elimination

You and your brother each decide to open a savings account. You open your account at Elsa’s Banking Branch. Your brother opens his account at Anna’s Banking Company. You put $50 in the bank and your account earns $4 per week in interest. Your brother puts $150 in his account but only earns $2 per week in interest. How many weeks will it take for both your brother and your account to have the same balance? Write a system of linear equations to solve the problem.

• 200 weeks

• 300 weeks

• 50 weeks

• 250 weeks

Macy starts with $20 in her bank account and she saves $5 each week. Robby has $100 in his bank account, and he saves $2.50 each week. After how many weeks will Macy and Robby have the same amount in their accounts and how much money will that be? Write a system of equations to solve.

• 25 weeks; $160

• 32 weeks; $180

• 20 weeks; $120

• 22 weeks; $135
