Bridget needs an actor. Actor A is offering her services for an initial $250 in addition to $55 per day. Actor B is offering her services for an initial $210 in addition to $65 per day. When will the two actors charge the same amount of money?

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Actor A: y = 55x + 250

Actor B: y = 65x + 210

55x + 250 = 65x + 210

55x + 250(-210) = 65x + 210(-210)

55x + 40 = 65x

(55x-55x) + 40 = 65x - 55x

40 = 10x

x = 4

The student council made more snow cones per hour than the parent volunteers.

Explanation:

To find the number of snow cones made per hour:
