Tyrone has already typed 100 words for an essay and can type 35 words per minute.
Vanessa has already typed 120 words and
can type 30 words per minute. In how
many minutes will Tyrone and Vanessa
have typed the same number of words?

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given conditions, formulate: 100+35*x=120+30*x

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation:35x-30x=120-100

Combine like terms: 5x=120-100

Calculate the sum or difference: 5x=20

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable: x=20/5

Cross out the common factor: x=4

get the result: x=4

x=4
