a company has 95,000 online followers and gains 100 new followers every day. another company starts with 0 online followers and gains 350 new followers every day. after how many days will the two companies have the same number of followers?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Set up equations
Let $d$ be the number of days. The first - company's follower count $y_1$ is $y_1 = 95000+100d$. The second - company's follower count $y_2$ is $y_2 = 0 + 350d$.
Step2: Set $y_1=y_2$
$95000 + 100d=350d$.
Step3: Solve for $d$
Subtract $100d$ from both sides: $95000=350d - 100d$. $95000 = 250d$. Then $d=\frac{95000}{250}=380$.
Answer:
380
