Question

Bronson scores 5 points each turn while Cami scores 4 points each turn. How many turns would they each have to make so that their points were equal? Write a system of equations and give the solution.

Answer 1

To make their points equal, we can break the equation 5x = 4x to find the value of x. The result is x = 0, which means they would need to make 0 turns for their points to be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To break the problem, we can set up a system of equations. Let's say the number of turns Bronson and Cami need to make their points equal is' x'.

For Bronson, the total number of points he'd have after' x' turns is 5x.

For Cami, the total number of points she'd have after' x' turns is 4x.

To make their points equal, we set up the equation 5x = 4x.

working the equation, we get x = 0.

thus, they would need to make 0 turns for their points to be equal.
