Henry and his little brother made up a game using coins. They flip the coins towards a cup and receive points for every one that makes it in. Henry starts with 15 points, and his little brother starts with 20 points. Henry gets 3 points for every successful shot, and his brother, since he is younger, gets 2 points for each successful shot. Eventually, the brothers will have a tied score in the game. How many additional shots will each brother have made?

Answer:

After 5 additional shots, the brothers will have a tied score.

Step-by-step explanation:

find equations

henry:

y-int is 15 because that is the starting number. the slope is 3 because that is how much his points are increasing for every successful shot. we can use this information to form this equation:

y = 3x + 15

brother:

y-int is 20 because that is the starting number. slope is 3 because that is how many points he gets for each successful shot. using this information, we can form the following equation:

y = 2x + 20

--

solve

y = 3x + 15

y = 2x + 20

3x + 15 = 2x + 20

x + 15 = 20

x = 5
