Let's set up a formula for this, where x is the amount of dvds he started with:

x-45+10=15
x-35=15
 +35  +35
x=50

He had 50 DVDs to begin with.

Check
50-45+10
=15

"x" represents the DVDs Smith began with:
(x-45)+10=15
Sold (-) 45, bought (+) 10, has (=) 15
Solve for x:
(x-45)+10-10=15-10
x-45=5
x-45+45=5+45
x=50

Solve the equation<br> 3x/ 8 - 4x/3 =4
Virty [35]

Answer:

x = -96/23

Step-by-step explanation

\frac{3x}{8} - \frac{4x}{3} = 4

multiply each side of equation by 24 to eliminate denominators

(24) \frac{3x}{8} - \frac{4x}{3} = 4 (24)

3(3x) - 8(4x) = 96

9x - 32x = 96

-23x = 96

x = -96/23
