Bradley and Ryan are having a contest to see who can collect the most bumper stickers. Bradley started with 23 bumper stickers and plans to add 4 each month. Ryan has 9 bumper stickers and plans to add 6 each month. After how many months will they have the same number of bumper stickers? (1 point) Responses 10 months 10 months 2 months 2 months 7 months 7 months 51 months

Answer 1

To find out after how many months they will have the same number of bumper stickers, we can set up the following equation:

23 + 4x = 9 + 6x

Subtracting 4x from both sides, we get:

23 = 9 + 2x

Subtracting 9 from both sides, we get:

14 = 2x

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

7 = x

Therefore, after 7 months they will have the same number of bumper stickers.
