Question

At the beginning of the month, a movie on a streaming service had 2,080 views, and it was getting 74 new views each day. Meanwhile, a different movie had 1,760 views, and it was getting 90 new views each day. Write and solve an equation to show the number of days it would take for the two videos to have the same number of views.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of days.
First movie: 2080 + 74x views.
Second movie: 1760 + 90x views.

Set them equal:
2080 + 74x = 1760 + 90x
2080 − 1760 = 90x − 74x
320 = 16x
x = 20

They will have the same number of views after 20 days (each will have 3560 views).
