One plane at an altitude (height) of 400 ft is rising at a rate of 30 feet per minute. Another plane is at an altitude of 1600 ft, but it is descending at a rate of 50 ft per minute. How long will it take for them to be at the same altitude? SET UP THE EQUATION.

• 30x+400=50x-1600

• 30x+400= -50x +1600

• 30x -400 = -50x - 1600

• -30x +400 = 50x +1600

A small pizza costs $6.75 and $1.50 for each topping. A medium pizza cost $8.25 and $1.00 for each topping. How many toppings need to be on the pizzas for them to cost the same amount? SET UP AN EQUATION.

• 6.50x + 1.5 = 8.25x + 1

• 1.5x + 1 = 6.5x +8.25

• 1.5x+6.50 = x+8.25

• 8.25x = 6.5x
