Identify the independent and dependent variable in the statement: how long a box of cereal will last and how many bowls of cereal eaten per day. choose all that apply. bowls eaten per day is the independent variable. type of cereal is the independent variable. size of box is the dependent variable. how long a box of cereal will last is the dependent variable

x = # of weeks

y = total amount of money

Your savings account: $122 + $12x = y

Your friend's savings account: $92 + $17x = y

As the question suggests, we need to set both equations equal to each other.

$122 + $12x = $92 + $17x

Subtract $92 from both sides and subtract $12x from both sides.

$30 = $5x

Divide both sides by $5

6 = x

It will take 6 weeks for you and your friend to have the same balance.
