Ryan and Sarah collect baseball cards. Ryan has 150 baseball cards and collects 10 cards per week. Sarah has 200 baseball cards and collects 5 cards per week. After how many weeks will Ryan and Sarah have the same number of baseball cards? Write and solve an equation to model the problem. Explain the meaning of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Ryan

number of baseball cards=150

number collected per week= 10

let the number of weeks be x

and the total be y

y=10x+1501

Sarah

number of baseball cards=200

number collected per week= 5

let the number of weeks be x

and the total be y

y=5x+2002

Step two:

Required

the number of weeks where both total will be the same

10x+150=5x+200

10x-5x=200-150

5x=50

divide both sides by 5

x=50/5

x=10 weeks

450 is the final answer! : )

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
