Ms. Brockman wants to take her class on a trip to either the nature center or the zoo. The nature center charges $4 per student, plus $95 for a 1-hour naturalist program. The zoo charges $6 per student plus $75 for a 1-hour guided tour. Find the number of students where the two field trips would have the same cost.

-75+4x+95=6x+75-75

4x+20=6x

-4x+4x+20=6x-4x
