Question

At the beginning of the month, a song on a streaming service already had 1,000 listens, and was getting 38 new listens each day. Meanwhile, a different song already had 900 listens, and was getting 40 new listens each day. Write an equation to show the number of days it would take for the two songs to have the same number of listens. Use x as your variable.(1 point)q

Answer 1

Let y represent the total number of listens for the first song and z represent the total number of listens for the second song.

For the first song:
y = 1000 + 38x

For the second song:
z = 900 + 40x

To find the number of days it would take for the two songs to have the same number of listens, we need to set y equal to z:
1000 + 38x = 900 + 40x

Subtract 900 from both sides:
100 + 38x = 40x

Subtract 38x from both sides:
100 = 2x

Divide by 2:
50 = x

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

Answer 2

whats the equation

Answer 3

The equation is:

1000 + 38x = 900 + 40x

This equation represents the total number of listens for the first song (1000 + 38x) being equal to the total number of listens for the second song (900 + 40x).
