Let x be the number of months it takes for Tom and Nita to have the same number of CDs.
Tom's total number of CDs after x months = 30 + x
Nita's total number of CDs after x months = 18 + 5x
Setting the two expressions equal to each other:
30 + x = 18 + 5x
12 = 4x
x = 3
After 3 months, Tom and Nita will have the same number of CDs.
