Nick.
40 - 1.50
38.5 - 1.50
37 - 1.50
35.5 - 1.50
34 - 1.50
32.5 - 1.50
31 - 1.50
29.5 - 1.50
27 - 1.50
25.5 - 1.50
= 24. 10 days.
24 - 1.50

Bob:
9 + 1.50
10.50 + 1.50
12 + 1.50
13.50 + 1.50
15 + 1.50
16.50 + 1.50
18 + 1.50
19.50 + 1.50
21 + 1.50
22.50 + 1.50
Same amount of money: 24. After 10 days.
25.50 + 1.50
Bob will have more money then Nick in 11 days. He'll have 27 dollars when Nick has 22.5 dollars.

The number of days that Bob would have more money than Nick is 11 days.

When would Bob have more money?

The equation that can be used to represent the question is:

$9 + 1.50x > $40 - $1.50x

Where x represents the number of days

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms

1.5x + 1.5x > $40 - $9

3x > 31

Divide both sides by 3

x > 11 days
