Answer:

In 66 days will the number of single downloads be 5 times the number of album downloads

Explanation:

For the music website, we know 68 single songs and 40 albums were sold today.

The number of single downloads increases by 12 each day. This means that in t days, there will be:

68 + 12t single downloads

The number of album downloads increases by 2 each day. In t days, there will be:

40 + 2t

We need to find when the following condition is met:

68 + 12t = 5(40 + 2t)

Operating:

68 + 12t = 200 + 10t

Rearranging:

12t - 10t = 200 - 68

2t = 132

Solving:

t=132 / 2

t = 66 days

In 66 days will the number of single downloads be 5 times the number of album downloads
