Let $ x $ represent the number of days. For the first song, the total number of listens after $ x $ days can be expressed as: $$ 1000 + 38x $$ For the second song, the total number of listens after $ x $ days can be expressed as: $$ 900 + 40x $$ To find the number of days it would take for the two songs to have the same number of listens, we set the two expressions equal to each other: $$ 1000 + 38x = 900 + 40x $$ This equation can be solved to find $ x $.
