Question 1065317
.
How many month will it take for the linear equation 15x+50 to equal 20x+10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


As you formulated it in your post, it sounds good for the day of April, 1.


Below is how it should be formulated:


<pre>
     At which value of "x" the expressions 15x + 50 and 20x + 10 are equal ?
</pre>

To answer this question, make an equation


15x + 50 = 20x + 10.


and then simplify and solve it:


50 - 10 = 20x - 15x   --->  40 = 5x  --->  x = 8.


<U>Answer</U>. x= 8: eight months (? if x is month . . . )
