At the beginning of summer, Mark has $200 in savings and Ryan has $350. The brothers have mowing jobs set up for the summer. Because Mark is older, he receives $20 for each mowing job and Ryan receives $15. The brothers’ parents pay for the fuel used to mow, so all of the money the brothers earn goes to savings. Write two equations, one for Mark and one for Ryan, to represent the money in savings (s) based on the number of mowing jobs (j) Mark and Ryan do.
Determine the number of mowing jobs it takes for Mark to have the same amount in savings as Ryan does. Show your work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

Ryan

If they get same saving, then the equations will be equal:

The answer is 30 mowing jobs

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
