Can someone help me? Kendall owns 39 CD’S, and he buys a new one every week. Raymond only owns 15 CD’S but he buys 3 new ones each week. How many weeks will it be before Raymond owns as many CD’S as Kendall?

Answer:

  • 7 weeks

Explanation:

Let the number of weeks be x

Then Kendal's CD's

  • 39 + x

Raymond's CD's

  • 15 + 3x

Time when they have equal CD's

  • 39 + x = 15 + 3x
  • 3x - x = 39 - 15
  • 2x = 14
  • x = 7 weeks
