9. A company is looking to hire a painter. One painter states that their fee can be determined by using the expression 50x + 100 where x is the number of hours it takes to paint. A second painter
states that their fees can be determined by using the expression 40x + 125. The company wants
to know when the fee would be the same for each painter. What number of hours makes the
equation 50x + 100 = 40x + 150 true?

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,

hope it
