    It will take 15 weeks for both Jon and Matt to weigh the same.

    Given:

    Jon : 148 lbs and gain 2lbs a week

    Matt : 193 lbs and lose 1lb a week

    Find the number of weeks until they both weigh the same.

    Jon = Matt

    148 + 2w = 193 - 1w

    2w + 1w = 193 - 148

    3w = 45

    w = 45/3

    w = 15

    To check:

    148 + 2 (15) = 193 - 1 (15)

    148 + 30 = 193 - 15

    178 = 178
