Country carpets charge $22 per square yard for carpeting and an additional installation fee of $100. City carpets charges $25 fee per square yard for the same carpeting and an additional installation fee of $70
x is the number of carpeting done 22x+100=25x+70 22x=25x+70-100 22x=25x-30 22x-25x=-30 -3x=-30 x=-30/-3 x=10
A person would have to do the carpeting 10 times in order to pay the same price for both companies (equal). I dont know if that's your question but this is what is usually asked when giving a problem of that kind.
