Question

Audra and Darcy both play softball. Audra started the season with 5 home runs and is

hitting 1 home run per game. Darcy started the season with 10 home runs and is also
hitting 1 home run per game. If they continue at the same rate, will Audra and Darcy
ever have the same number of home runs?

Answer 1

No Solutions

Explanation:

We have to create an equation to be able to solve this problem.

Let's let x = the # of home runs

The equation that helps us solve this is 5 + 1x = 10 + 1x

First, we have to subtract 1x from each side (always subtract the variable first before the constant, math rule)

This brings us to 5=10 because the x's cancel each other out.

You probably look at this saying, wait, this isn't right, and you would be correct

Since this equation isn't true, it is No Solutions

No Solutions mean there is no answer to the problem, it is impossible to solve.

So, our final answer is No Solutions

Hope this helps, have a great day! :)
