4. Adrian and Rory started comic book collections at the same time. Adrian
started with 12 comic books and buys 4 more each month. Rory started with
8 comic books and buys 4 more each month. Will they ever have the same
number of comic books? If so, after how many months? Use an equation to
justify your answer.

As both are adding same number of comic books each months, they will not have same number of books. Adrian will have 4 more comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Adrian starts with 12 comic books and add 4 each month.

Let,

m be the number of books.

A(m) = 4m+12

Rory starts with 8 comic books and add 4 comic books each month.

R(m) = 4m+8

As both are adding same number of comic books each months, they will not have same number of books. Adrian will have 4 more comic books.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
