20 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months.

We have been given that at one bank, Aaron would pay $2500 initially and $150 each month for the loan. So amount paid in x months would be .

We are also told that at another bank, Aaron would pay $3000 initially and $125 each month for the loan. So amount paid in x months would be .

Therefore, after 20 months both loan payments would be the same.

6 adults and 9 children went.

a + c = 15

12a + 9c = 153

12(6) + 9(9) = 153

72 + 81 = 153
