Answer:
5 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of weeks they have been saving
Create an equation that sets Cameron and Sams’ savings equal to each other, then solve for x
4x + 20 = x + 35
3x + 20 = 35
3x = 15
x = 5
So, they will have saved the same amount of money after 5 weeks
