Answer:
The numbers of grooming visits for which James and Bradly would charge the same amount is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers of grooming visits be x and the charge in dollars be y
Then according to the question :
The amount (dollars) James charge for w visits is
y=10w+50 ------------------------------------------------(1)
The amount (dollars) James charge for w visits is
y=35w -------------------------------------------------------(2)
On equating (1) and (2)
35w = 10w+50
Grouping the like terms on the same side
35w-10w = 50
25w = 50
w = 2
Thus for 2 grooming visits James and Bradly would charge the same amount
