Jaylee wants to have a mural for her room. She has two bids: #1 Artist charges an initial fee of $79.50, plus $1 sq ft. Artist #2 does not charge a initial fee and charges $2.50 sq ft. Which size of mural(in sq ft) will be the same cost when painted by either artist?

Let x = sq ft

79.50 + x = 2.50x

Solve for x.
