Jax gets 4 packs per month...each pack contains 4 cards...so he gets 16 cards per month.
Sofia gets 3 packs per month..each pack contains 4 cards...so she gets 12 cards per month..

56 + 16m = 68 + 12m
16m - 12m = 68 - 56
4m = 12
m = 12/4
m = 3.....they will have the same number of cards in 3 months

Jax : 56 + 16(3) = 104 cards
Sofia : 68 + 12(3) = 104 cards

and they will both have 104 cards
