Question

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

Answer 1

The two songs will have the same numbsr of listens on the 25th day.

Explanation:

The word problem can be represented by

700 + 52x = 600 + 56x

or (simplified)

700 - 4x = 600

or (simplified further)

-4x = -100

negative signs cancel

100/4 = 25

x = 25
