Write a one-variable equation or inequality with
variables on both sides to describe the problem
situation. Complete Steps 1 - 2 in order.
1. Step 1: Choose the general form of the equation or inequality for this
situation.
Rhiannon's weekly deposit = Sophie's weekly deposit
the number of weeks elapsed for Rhiannon's account = the number of weeks elapsed for
Sophie's account
Rhiannon and Sophie both started saving for a new
piano this month. Rhiannon will deposit $35.80 per
week, but her bank account is currently overdrawn
with a -$253.50 balance. Sophie also has a negative
bank account balance of - $78.25 and will deposit
$23.30 each week. How many weeks (w) will it take
for the two bank accounts to have the same balance?
Rhiannon's bank account balance < Sophie's bank account balance
Rhiannon's bank account balance = Sophie's bank account balance
Rhiannon's weekly deposit < Sophie's weekly deposit
