Emmanuel attends West Lake Heights Science & Technology School. He would like to raise money so that he can purchase new equipment for the STEM department at his school. He decides to reach out to local businesses for their help. Two businesses decided to help. Business A: Jan’s Coffee Shop is donating $300 plus $0.75 for each large coffee ordered over the next 2 weeks. Business B: Ronnie’s Burger Palace is donating $150 plus $2 for every combo meal ordered over the next 2 weeks.

first business: 300 + 0.75x

second business: 150 + 2x

300 + 0.75x = 150 + 2x

1.25x = 150

x = 120

In the question, the answer is lost. so I decided to create a question

here 120 combo is if two companies are equal
