At the beginning of the month, a movie on a
streaming service had 2080 views, and it was
getting 74 new views each day. Meanwhile a
different movie had 1,760 views, and it was getting
90 views each day. Solve the equation to show the
number of days it would take for the two videos to
have the number of views.
74x+2080 = 90x+1760
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x, which represents the number of days.
First, let's simplify the equation:
74x + 2080 = 90x + 1760
Next, let's eliminate the variables on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 74x from both sides:
2080 = 90x - 74x + 1760
Simplifying further:
2080 = 16x + 1760
Now, let's isolate the variable x by subtracting 1760 from both sides:
2080 - 1760 = 16x
320 = 16x
Finally, let's solve for x by dividing both sides by 16:
320 / 16 = x
x = 20
Therefore, it will take 20 days for the two videos to have the same number of views.
