Sagot :

i believe it would be 5.

if you plug in five to both equations:

h=5+11
h=3(5)+1

they both equal 16. so they will both have 16 hats after 5 months. :-)
  • h=m+11
  • h=3m+1

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m+11=3m+1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m-3m=1-11[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -2m=-10[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m=-10/-2 [/tex]

[tex]\\\sf \Rrightarrow m = 5[/tex]
