Question

Country Carpets charges $22 per square yard for carpeting, and an additional installation fee of $100. City carpets charges $25 per square yard for the same carpeting and an additional installation fee of $70. Write and solve an equation to find the number of square yards of carpeting for which the total cost charged by the two companies will be the same.

Answer 1

10 square yards

Explanation:

25x+70= t

22x+100= t

25*10= 250+70= 320

22*10=220+100= 320

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

country carpets: y = 22x + 100

City carpets: y = 25x + 70

22x + 100 = 25x + 70

I could be wrong but I hope this helps!
