Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways to solve this but he is one method

We are looking for how many weeks will it take for Vicki and Jeb to have the same number of baseball cards So when will Vicki = Jeb

x = weeks

Vicki = 15x + 210

Jeb = 10x + 275

When will Vicki = Jeb

15x + 210 = 10x + 275

5x = 65

5x/5 = 65/5

x = 13

So in 13 weeks Vicki and Jeb will have the same number of baseball cards.

In 13 weeks both will have 405 baseball cards
