If David has 83 CD's, and each rack holds 25, then David would need 4 racks. 4 racks will hold up to 100 CD's, where as 3 racks would only hold 75.
I'm not sure what 'Lin' has to do with this equation, but if she has 6 racks full of CD's then in total she has 150 CD's.
Hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
7 + x/4 = 5 (common denominator is 4)
4(7+x/4) = 4 x 5 (distribute the 4 though parenthesis)
4 *7 +4x/4 = 4 x 5
4 * 7 + x = 4 x 5
28 + x = 4 x 5
28 + x = 20 (subtract the 28)
x = 20 - 28
x = -8
Answer:
x = -25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- Library 2 charges more for each book loaned.
- Library 1 has a cheaper subscription fee.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the table, we can write the equation for the cost of borrowing from Library 2 using the two-point form of the equation of a line:
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
for (x1, y1) = (2, 15.50) and (x2, y2) = (8, 26) this equation becomes ...
y = (26 -15.50)/(8 -2)(x -2) +15.50 . . . . . fill in the values
y = (10.50/6)(x -2) +15.50 . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify a bit
y = 1.75x -3.50 +15.50 . . . . . . simplify more
In the above, we have x = number of books; y = cost. We can use "n" and "C" for those, respectively, as in the equation for Library 1. Then the monthly cost for Library 2 is ...
C = 12 + 1.75n . . . . . . . arranged to the same form as for Library 1
_____
Now, we can answer the questions.
Library 2 charges more for each book loaned. (1.75 vs 1.50 for Library 1)
Library 1 has a cheaper subscription fee. (10 vs 12 for Library 2)
_____
The numbers in the cost equations are ...
C = (subscription fee) + (cost per book loaned)·n
