Let's represent the number of days as 'd'.
For the first song, the number of listens after 'd' days is given by the equation:
Number of listens = 700 + 52d
For the second song, the number of listens after 'd' days is given by the equation:
Number of listens = 600 + 56d
To find the number of days when the two songs have the same number of listens, we can set these two equations equal to each other:
700 + 52d = 600 + 56d
Rearranging the equation, we get:
52d - 56d = 600 - 700
-4d = -100
Dividing both sides of the equation by -4, we find:
d = 25
Therefore, the two songs will have the same number of listens after 25 days.
At the beginning of the month, a song on a streaming service had 700 listens, and it was getting 52 new listens each day. Meanwhile, a different song had 600 listens, and it was getting 56 new listens each day. When will the two songs have the same number of listens?
The songs will have the same number of listens after [ ] days.
