todd Has a collection of 8cds and sally has a collection of 18 cds Todd is adding 9cds a month to his collection while sally is adding 7 cds a month to her collection when will they have the same number of cds and how many will they have

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create some equations first.

Say M = number of months, T = Todd and S = Sally.

We know that Todd starts with 8 cds and sally starts with 18 cds.

This means when M= 0,  T = 8 and S = 18

After one month (M = 1), Todd adds 9 cds.

This means can write the following equation:

T = 8 + 9M

So after the first month (where M = 1), we can find out that Todd has

T = 8 + 9 x 1 = 8 + 9 = 17 cds

For Sally, we know she adds 7 cds per month.

S = 18 + 7M

After one month (M = 1),

S = 18 + 7 x 1 = 25 cds.

Now we are trying to find when they will have the same number of cds and how many.

This means we are trying to figure out what M = ? when Todd and Sally are equal.

So we want to find when T = S

Remember, earlier we wrote :

T = 8 + 9M

S = 18 + 7M

If T = S, this means:

8 + 9M = 18 + 7M

Gather the like terms and solve for M.

Subtract 8 from both sides.

9M = 10 + 7M

Subtract 7M from both sides

2M = 10

Divide both sides by 2

M = 5.

So in 5 months, we are saying T = S (Todd and Sally will have the same number of cds).

Put M = 5 back into our earlier equations to find out how many cds they have after 5 months.

T = 8 + 9M

T = 8 + 9 x 5

T = 53

Therefore, after 5 months Todd and Sally will have 53 cds each :)

554.4

44*12.6=544.4

answer: all of the odd numbers were opened

the first person was the one that was opening all of the lockers. since one is odd, this causes all of the odd number lockers to be opened in the end.
