Blind company A charges $25.00 to install blinds for one room and $5.00 for each additional window. Blind company B charges $30.00 to install blinds in one room and $4.00 for each additional window. Write an equation to determine how many blinds would need to be installed for the price to be equal.

• 25 + 5x = 30 + 4x
• 25 - 5x = 30 - 4x
• 30 - 25 = 4x + 5x
• 25x + 5 = 30x + 4

Carol wants to join a dance studio. Studio A charges $100.00 for the entry fee and $45.00 per class, while Studio B charges $125.00 for the entry fee and $30.00 per class.  Write an equation to determine how many classes would need to be taken for the price to be equal? 

• 125 - 100 = 45x + 30x
• 100x + 45 = 125x + 30
• 100 + 45x = 125 + 30x
• 100 - 45x = 125 - 30x

The Rug store installs carpet for $80 plus $9.50 per square yard of carpet. The Magic Carpet charges $120 for installation and $7.50 per square yard of carpet. Write an inequality that could be used to determine the number of square yards of carpet that need to be installed for The Rug Store to charge more than The Magic Carpet.

• 80+9.50x > 120+7.50x
• 80+9.50x < 120+7.50x
• 80x+9.50 > 120x+7.50
• 80x+9.50 < 120x+7.50
