Question

Brian and Roxanne each want to run for
president of their school's student body council.
In order to do so, they must collect a certain
number of signatures and get a nomination. So
far, Brian has 20 signatures, and Roxanne has
22. Brian is collecting signatures at an average
rate of 9 per day, whereas Roxanne is averaging
8 signatures every day. Assuming that their rate
of collection stays the same, eventually the two
will have collected the same number of
signatures. How long will that take? How many
signatures will they both have?
