A college has two classrooms of students. Classroom A had 70 students. Classroom B had 30 students. Classroom A sent groups of 4 students to Classroom B until both classrooms had the same number of students. The equation shown can be used to find the number of groups that Classroom A sent to Classroom B so each classroom had the same number of students. Write an equation that can represent this situation.
70 - 4x = 30 + 4x

Jerry has a new job and earns a salary of $45,000. Victoria has a new job and earns a salary of $54,000. Jerry will receive a salary increase of $2,500 per year, and Victoria will receive a salary increase of $1,500 per year. Write an equation that can be used to find x, the number of years it will take Jerry to earn the same salary as Victoria.
What is 2,500x+45,000=1,500x+54,000?
What is the solution to the following equation: 45,000 + 2,500x = 54,000 + 1,500x?
