Question

The Bobcat baseball team has a total of 53 games this season. There are 9 games in the first month. After the first month, the team plays 11 games per month. Which equation can be used to find the number of months the season will last after the first month?

Answer 1

The season will last 4 months after the first month (5 months in total)

Explanation:

53 games

9 games first month

11 games per month (since the second one)

x - number of months

9 + 11x = 53

11x = 53-9

11x = 44

x = 4
