Question

Anna and Sam each want to run for president of their school's student body council. In order

Answer 1

Answer:

6x+20=5x+25

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the days that they have the same amount of signatures

We know Anna has 20 currently and gets 6 per day, so we can use y=mx+b to describe her linear relationship.

We also know that Sam has 25 and gets 5 per day, so we can again use y=mx+b to describe his linear relationship.

Since both equations equal the variable y, we can say they equal each other and set up 6x+20=5x+25.

Then you subtract 20 from both sides and subtract 5x, so you are left with x =5, or 5 days until they have the same amount of signatures

Hope this made sense :D
