    8 weeks

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are to find the number of weeks that they will have the same account balance.

    Let the number of weeks be x.

    Megan started by putting $80 in her account, and she will deposit an additional $15 each week. This means after x weeks, she will have:

    80 + 15x

    Noah made no initial deposit, but he will add $25 more each week. After x weeks, he will have:

    25x

    To find the number of weeks for their amounts to be the same, we equate their amounts to one another:

    80 + 15x = 25x

    Collexting like terms and solving for x:

    80 = 25x - 15x

    80 = 10x

    => x = 80 / 10 = 8 weeks

    After 8 weeks, the money in their accounts will be the same.
