After 4 months, Alejandro and Alexia will have the same amount of money.

Solución

Let t be the number of months. For Alejandro, his total money becomes:   116.20 + 39.10t For Alexia, her total money becomes:   348.60 − 19t To find when they have the same amount of money, set the two expressions equal:   116.20 + 39.10t = 348.60 − 19t Combine like terms:   39.10t + 19t = 348.60 − 116.20   58.10t = 232.40 Now, solve for t:   t = 232.40 / 58.10   t = 4 Therefore, both Alejandro and Alexia will have the same amount of money after 4 months.

The Deep Dive

To find out when Alejandro and Alexia will have the same amount of money, we can set up equations based on their current amounts and monthly earnings or expenses. - Alejandro's amount after \( m \) months: \[ 116.20 + 39.10m \] - Alexia's amount after \( m \) months (subtracting the subscription cost): \[ 348.60 - 19m \] Setting these two equations equal to each other gives us: \[ 116.20 + 39.10m = 348.60 - 19m \] Now, let's solve for \( m \): 1. Combine like terms: \[ 39.10m + 19m = 348.60 - 116.20 \] \[ 58.10m = 232.40 \] 2. Divide both sides by 58.10: \[ m = \frac{232.40}{58.10} \] \[ m \approx 4 \] So, they will have the same amount of money in approximately 4 months.
