Two apps on your phone take away points for using your phone at school. You have 140 points on the first app and 80 points on the second app when a school day begins. Each time you check your phone, you lose 10 points on your first app and $p$ points on your second app. After you check your phone ten times, you have the same number of points on each app. Find the value of $p$

p = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For app one, you start with 140 points, and you lose 10 each time you check your phone.

Then, if you check your phone x times, you will have:

140 - x*10 points in total.

For app two, you start with 80 points, and you lose p points each time you check your phone.

Then, if you check your phone x times, you will have:

80 - x*p points left

We know that when x = 10, you have the same number of points in both apps, then we have the equation:

140 - (10)*10 = 80 - (10)*p

We can solve this for p

140 - 10*10 = 80 - 10*p

140 - 100 = 80 - 10*p

40 = 80 - 10*p

10*p = 80 - 40

10*p = 40

p = 40/10 = 4
