At first, she had +2y in the upper and -5y in the lower.

She multiplied the upper by 5 . Then she had +10y in the upper.

She should multiply the lower by 2 . Then she'll have -10y
there. She'll be able to add the two equations, and the 'y's will
go away. She'll be left with a single equation with only 'x' in it,
and she can solve that one for the value of 'x'.

Answer:

20 people only buy dvds.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two groups in this problem. One group of people that buys dvds and one that buys blu rays. The total amount of people who buy blu rays is 300, but there's an intersection between the groups and the size of this is 280 people who actually buy both. In order to find out how many people only buy DVDs we first need to figure out how many only buy blu-rays. That is:

people who only buy blu rays = people who buy blu rays - people who buys blu rays and dvds

people who only buy blu rays = 300 - 280 = 20

We can now calculate the amount of people who only buy dvds and that is:

people who only buy dvds =total amount of people - ( people who only buy blu rays + people who buy both)

people who only buy dvds = 320 - (20 + 280) = 320 - 300 = 20 people
