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

Since this is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal.

3x-6 = 2x+3

Move like terms to one side

x = 9

Now we plug 9 back in for x

2(9) + 3

=18 + 3
