Answer: 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

okay we set up and equation.

10 + 5m is how many cards will gets, where m is months

20 + 3m is how many cards thomas gets, where m is months.

lets see how many months it will take for them to be equal:

10 + 5m = 20+ 3m

5m = 10 +3m

2m = 10

m = 5

it will take 5 months for them to have the same amount of cards.

I got 5 months, because you add on to each person frequency until you hit the same amount (sorry if it’s a sad answer)
