Jasmine has 50 cans and collects 5 additional cans per week for a food drive. Leandra has no cans but collects 10 cans per week. After how many weeks will they have the same number of cans?

10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

I added downwards like this=

50      0

5 (55) 10(10)

5 (60) 10 (20)

5 (65) 10 (30)

5 (70) 10 (40)

5 (75) 10 (50)

5 (80) 10 (60)

5 (85) 10 (70)

5 (90) 10 (80)

5 (95) 10 (90)

5 (100) 10 (100)

As you can see, they both are equal to 100 after 10 weeks.

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
