Question

Moesha"s music library has 17 more than two times the number of songs than Damian's music library. Define a variable and write an expression to represent the number of songs in Moesha's music library. Then find the number of songs in Moesha's library if Damian has 5 songs in his library.

Answer 1

To make things easier, Moesha will be variable 'm' and Damian 'd'.

Number of songs in m's library would be 2d+17 and if d= 5, m=27

Answer 2

Answer:

M = 2D + 17, Moesha has 27 songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know how many number of songs has Damian but we do know that Moesha has twice the songs of Damian plus 17.

So let

Moesha's library = M

Damian's library = D

And the expression would be:

M = 2D + 17

If Damian has 5 songs, we can know how many songs has Moesha using the equation given earlier.

M = 2(5) + 17

M = 10 + 17

M = 27

Therefore if Damian has 5 songs, Moesha has 27 songs.
