At the beginning of the month a song on a streaming service had 700 listens and it was getting 52 new listings each day meanwhile a different song had 600 listens and it was getting 56 new lessons each day when will the two songs have the same number of listens

1 answer

To find out when the two songs will have the same number of listens, we can set up an equation:

Let x be the number of days it takes for the two songs to have the same number of listens.

Number of listens for first song after x days = 700 + 52x
Number of listens for second song after x days = 600 + 56x

Setting these two equations equal to each other and solving for x:

700 + 52x = 600 + 56x
52x - 56x = 600 - 700
-4x = -100
x = 25

Therefore, it will take 25 days for the two songs to have the same number of listens.
