Respuesta :

112+45+25m=50+60m
Both sides should be qual to each other once they both hit a certain number of months. I hope this helps!

Answer:

[tex]112+45+25m[/tex] = [tex]50+60m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of months it will take for both accounts to have the same account of money

The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and will save $25 each month.

The equation becomes:

[tex]112+45+25m[/tex]

The second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month.

The equation becomes:

[tex]50+60m[/tex]

Now, to find 'm' we will make both the equations equal.

[tex]112+45+25m[/tex] = [tex]50+60m[/tex]

So, this is the equation that is your answer.
