Cesar Diaz · Answer 1

Let the amount in both accounts when they have the same amount be y, then:

For The International Business Club: y = 250.50 - 35m, and

For The Future Agricultural Leaders Club: y = 300 - 45.25m.

Therefore, the required equation is 250.5 - 35m = 300 - 45.25m

Misael Valdez · Answer 2

Let m be the number of months it will take for their accounts to have the same amounts. For the International Business Club, the value of money after m months is 250.50 - 35m. For the Future Agricultural Leaders Club, the value is 300 - 45.25m. Equating both,

250.5 - 35m = 300 - 45.25m

The answer is letter B.
