question
Two runners are saving money to attend a marathon. The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and will save $25 each month. The second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month. Which equation can be used to find m, the number of months it will take for both accounts to have the same amount of money?
answer
112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m
question

question
The levels of mercury in two different bodies of water are rising. In one body of water the initial measure of mercury is 0.05 parts per billion (ppb) and is rising at a rate of 0.1 ppb each year. In the second body of water the initial measure is 0.12 ppb and the rate of increase is 0.06 ppb each year. Which equation can be used to find y, the year in which both bodies of water have the same amount of mercury?
answer
0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y
question
