Answer:

22x + 100 = 25x + 70, 10 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the number of square yards of carpeting as x.

So, the cost of Country Carpets is: 22 * x + 100

And the cost of City Carpets is: 25 * x + 70.

In order for the costs to be the , the equations need to be equal.

22x + 100 = 25x + 70

Subtract 22x from both sides.

100 = 3x + 70

Subtract 70 from both sides.

3x = 30

x = 10

10 square yards
