At the beginning of the month, a movie on a streaming service had 2,080 views, and it was getting 74 new views each day. Meanwhile, a different movie had 1,760 views, and it was getting 90 new views each day. Write and solve an equation to show the number of days it would take for the two videos to have the same number of views
Let's use the variable 'd' to represent the number of days it would take for the two videos to have the same number of views.
For the first movie, the total number of views after 'd' days can be represented as: 2,080 + 74d.
For the second movie, the total number of views after 'd' days can be represented as: 1,760 + 90d.
Setting these two expressions equal to each other, we have the equation:
2,080 + 74d = 1,760 + 90d
Subtracting 1,760 from both sides:
320 + 74d = 90d
Subtracting 74d from both sides:
320 = 16d
Dividing both sides by 16:
d = 320/16
d = 20
So, it would take 20 days for the two videos to have the same number of views.
To find the number of days it would take for the two videos to have the same number of views, we can set up an equation.
Let's assume "d" represents the number of days it would take for the two videos to have the same number of views.
For the first movie, the number of views after "d" days is given by: 2,080 + 74d.
For the second movie, the number of views after "d" days is given by: 1,760 + 90d.
To find the number of days it would take for the two videos to have the same number of views, we can set up the following equation:
2,080 + 74d = 1,760 + 90d
To solve this equation for "d," we can rearrange it:
90d - 74d = 2,080 - 1,760
16d = 320
Dividing both sides of the equation by 16, we find:
d = 20
Therefore, it would take 20 days for the two videos to have the same number of views.
