-------------------------------------
Define x :
-------------------------------------
Let x be the number of weeks needed.

-------------------------------------
Navor :
-------------------------------------
<span>Navor has $800 and is spending $30 per week:
</span>800 - 30x

-------------------------------------
Rashid :
-------------------------------------
<span>Rashid has $150 and is saving $20 per week:
</span>150 + 20x

-------------------------------------
Solve x:
-------------------------------------
800 - 30x = 150 + 20x
50x = 800 - 150
50x = 650
x = 13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: They will have the same amount of money after 13 weeks.
