System of Equations Word Problem

Arsene saves $55 per week and already saved $270. Jose has $990 and spends $35 per week. How many DAYS until Arsene and Jose have the same amount of money? And, does this problem require you to use the substitution method or the elimination method?

Not necessary to do system of equations. Just set the equations for the amount of money each has after x weeks equal to each other to find the crossover point. There's really only one variable.
