Step-by-step explanation:

A. For Tavon's gift card the equation is

let y be the total amount

let x be the number of 30 day period

y=145-3.5x------1

for Tavon's second gift card the equation is

let y be the total amount

let x be the number of 30 day period

y=125-3x-------------2

B. equating 1 and 2 we have

145-3.5x=125-3x

solve for x we have

145-125=-3x+3.5x

20=0.5x

divide both sides by x we have

x=20/0.5

x= 40

put x=40 in

y=145-3.5*40------1

y=145-140

y=$5

put x=40 in

y=125-3*40------1

y=125-120

y=$5
