Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  = a 30 day period

The first equation is 50 - 2x (because you start with $50 and subtract 2 for each 30 day period)

The second equation is 40-1.5x

Set them equal to each other:  50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5x

Solve for x:

50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5 x

    +2x         +2x

-----------------------

50 = 40 + 0.5 x

-40   -40

-------------------

10 = 0.5 x

20 = x

So there will be 20 30-day periods until the cards will be equal in value.

Check:  After 20 periods, 50 - 2(20) = $10 left

40 - 1.5(20) = also $10 left

Answer:

Gallons of punch used = 4.94 gallons

Liters of punch purchased = 25 liters

Liters of punch left over = 6 liters

Liters of punch used = 25 - 6 = 19 liters

According to the given statement;

1 liter = 0.26 gallons

19 liters = 0.26*19 gallons

19 liters = 4.94 gallons

Hence,

Gallons of punch used = 4.94 gallons
