When will the two clubs have the same number of members? write thr equation you use, find the solution, and answer the question. equation: ____ solution:____ answer:_____

Answer 1

Equation:
500-30x=130+20x
Since you want to find when they are the same, you put an equal sign. Also, since one is gaining and the other is losing, you have an addition and subtraction sign.
Solution:
370= 50x
x=7.4
Answer:
After 7.4 years, the clubs will have the same members, which is 278 members.
