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?

Yeah but thatโ€™s not the same number of stickers.

The canned answer makes no sense and is wrong again

Brad: 23 + 4m
Ryan: 9 + 6m

9 + 6m = 23 + 4m
2m = 14
m = 7 , and they will each have 51 stickers

After 7 months, Brad will have 23+4(7) or 51 stickers
and Ryan will have 9+6(7) or 51 stickers

Thank uuu!!!

To determine the number of months it will take for Bradley and Ryan to have the same number of bumper stickers, we can set up an equation. Let's assume it takes x months for them to have the same number of bumper stickers.

At the start, Bradley has 23 bumper stickers and plans to add 4 each month. Therefore, the number of bumper stickers Bradley will have after x months is 23 + 4x.

Similarly, Ryan starts with 9 bumper stickers and plans to add 6 each month. So, the number of bumper stickers Ryan will have after x months is 9 + 6x.

To find when they have the same number of bumper stickers, we can set up an equation:
23 + 4x = 9 + 6x

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of x:

23 + 4x = 9 + 6x
Subtract 4x from both sides:
23 = 9 + 2x
Subtract 9 from both sides:
14 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7

Therefore, it will take 7 months for Bradley and Ryan to have the same number of bumper stickers.

After 5 months, they will have the same number of bumper stickers. Bradley will have 35 bumper stickers and Ryan will have 39 bumper stickers.
