At the beginning of the year, Blake had $35 in savings and
saved an additional $16 each week thereafter. Zoe started
the year with $80 and saved $13 every week. Let B
represent the amount of money Blake has saved t weeks
after the beginning of the year and let Z represent the
amount of money Zoe has saved t weeks after the
beginning of the year. Write an equation for each

weeks after the beginning of the year until Blake and Zoe
have the same amount of money saved.
