Determine number of weeks where both will be equal.

Represent weeks with w.

For Tony, the expression is:

[tex]10 + 4w[/tex]

For Marco, the expression is:

[tex]60 + 2w[/tex]

To determine yhe number of weeks, we equate both expressions.

[tex]10 + 4w = 60 + 2w[/tex]

[tex]4w - 2w = 60 - 10[/tex]

[tex]2w = 50[/tex]

Solve for w

[tex]w = 50/2[/tex]

[tex]w = 25[/tex]
