Mike and Will are trying to gain weight before football season starts. Mike weighs 195 LBS and is gaining approximately 3 LBS per week. Will weighs 205 LBS and is gaining approximately 2 LBS per week. After how many weeks will Mike weigh more than Will?

Answer :

It will take Mike more than 10 weeks to weigh more than Will

To determine after how many weeks will Mike weigh more than Will, we can start by setting up an equation that relates their weights and their weight gains over time.

Let's let x be the number of weeks it takes for Mike to weigh more than Will.

After x weeks, Mike's weight will be:

195 + 3x

And Will's weight will be:205 + 2x

We want to find the value of x that makes Mike's weight greater than Will's weight.

In other words, we want to solve the inequality:

195 + 3x > 205 + 2x

Subtracting 195 from both sides:

3x > 10 + 2x

Subtracting 2x from both sides:

x > 10

So it will take Mike more than 10 weeks to weigh more than Will.
