7 Weeks

46 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, Diego was having a total sum of $11 and was increasing at the rate of $5 per week

while

Lynn has a total sum of $60 and was decreasing at the rate of $2 per week.

Let after X weeks they are having the same amount of money.

After X weeks diego will be having a sum of $ (11 + 5X).

And, Lynn will be having a sum of $ (60-2X).

Equating both we will get

11 + 5X = 60 - 2X

7X = 49.

X = 7. and money having = 11 + 35 = 46.

They will be having Equal amount of money after 7 weeks and will be having a sum of $ 46.
