The equation can be written as:

1000 + 38x = 900 + 40x

Where x is the number of days it takes for the two songs to have the same number of listens.

Simplifying, we get:

1000 - 900 = 40x - 38x

100 = 2x

x = 50

Therefore, it would take 50 days for the two songs to have the same number of listens.

An ice skating rink has two ways you can use the facility. The first option is to pay $10 per visit. The second option is to pay $32 per month, and $6 per visit. Write and solve an equation to show the number of visits it would take for the cost of the two plans to be equal.(1 point)

Responses

10x=32−6x ; x=2
10 x equals 32 minus 6 x ; x equals 2

10x=32+6x ; x=8
10 x equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals 8

10=32+6x ; x=−3
10 equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals negative 3

10x=32+6x ; x=4
10 x equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals 4

negative 8 x plus 3 equals negative 8 x plus 3

−3x+8=−3x−8
negative 3 x plus 8 equals negative 3 x minus 8

−3x−8=3x−8
negative 3 x minus 8 equals 3 x minus 8

To find the number of days it would take for the two songs to have the same number of listens, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's start with the first song, which had 1,000 listens at the beginning of the month and is getting 38 new listens each day. We can express this situation with the equation:

Listens for the first song = 1,000 + 38x

Here, x represents the number of days.

Now, let's consider the second song, which had 900 listens at the beginning of the month and is getting 40 new listens each day. We can express this as:

Listens for the second song = 900 + 40x

We want to find the number of days (x) when the two songs have the same number of listens. Since we set them equal to each other, the equation becomes:

1,000 + 38x = 900 + 40x

Now, we can solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the number of days it would take for the two songs to have the same number of listens.
