    Lets say Y is the amount they will save.

    So Melinda's savings could be described by the equation Y=22+10X, where X is the number of weeks. The same goes to George, but his equation would be Y=10+13X.

    To save the same amount, their equations must match:

    22+10X = 10+13X

    Solving this, one gets

    12 = 3x

    => 4=x

    So the answer is 4 weeks.

    22+10x=10+13x

    13x-10x=22-10

    3x=12

    x=4

    Answer:4 weeks
