Question 208142: Please help, need to solve word problem that involve linear equation and formula. Is it possible to show this step by step.
A student is pricing two different picture packages. John's Photo World charges $2.75 per sheet and a one time sitting fee of $125. Sam's Picture Emporium charges $1.50 per sheet and a one time sitting fee of $140. For how many sheets of pictures do the two companies charge the same amount?
Thank you for any help you provide.

2.75x+125=1.50x+140
1.25x=15
x=12
2.75(12)+125=1.50(12)+140
158=158
