Ответ:
10 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create 2 equations for each person and equate them to find the time.
Rufus already collected 100, so that's fixed. 25 pounds per week means 25x (let x be number of weeks). So Rufus' equation is:
100 + 25x
Brother doesn't have anything yet, so no fixed amount. But he collects 35 pounds per week (x amount of weeks). So his equation would be:
35x
For them to equate (brother to catch-up), we can equate both equations and solve for x (number of weeks required):
So, his brother would need 10 weeks to catch up to Rufus
