Solving Linear Equations Unit Test At the beginning of the month, a song on a streaming service had 700 listens, and it was getting 52 new listens each dayMeanwhile, a different song had 600 listensand it was getting 56 new listens each dayWhen will the two songs have the same number of listens? point) The songs will have the same number of listens after days

To find out when the two songs will have the same number of listens, we need to set up an equation.

Let x represent the number of days it will take for the two songs to have the same number of listens.

For the first song: listens = 700 + 52x
For the second song: listens = 600 + 56x

Now we can set these two equations equal to each other:

700 + 52x = 600 + 56x

Subtract 600 from both sides:

100 + 52x = 56x

Subtract 52x from both sides:

100 = 4x

Divide by 4:

x = 25

Therefore, the two songs will have the same number of listens after 25 days.
