Answer:

3 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months.

We have been given that Tom has a collection of 30 CDs and he is adding 1 CD a month to his collection.

So number of CDs in Tom's collection after x months would be: 30+x.

We are also told that Nita has a collection of 18 CDs. Nita is adding 5 CDs a month to her collection. So number of CDs in Nita's collection after x months would be: 18+5x.

To solve for number of months, when both will have same number of CDs, we will equate both expressions as:

18+5x=30+x

18+5x-x=30+x-x

18+4x=30

18-18+4x=30-18

4x=12

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Therefore, after 3 months they will have the same number of CDs.

His work should have looked like this.

2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10                  When he added in both sides, he subtracted 10 from 10,
5x = 20                      instead of adding 10 from 10 to make 20.
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
8 + y = 5

y = -3
