It will never happen. Heather is starting out with more money than you and is saving more money per week than you.
An algebraic proof
35 + 7w = 25 + 5w
10 = - 2w
-5 = w

As written, Heather will always have money. I suspect you made some errors in writing down the problem. Please check it and correct any mistakes.11/14/19
