Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 7 weeks b) George's

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally's score can be modeled by 10x+850.

George's score can be modeled by 50x+570.

We can set them equal to each other to see when they intersect.

10x+850=50x+570

40x=280

x=7

If George overtakes her in the 7th week, of course he'll have the higher score in 12 weeks.
