Question

ann has 5 brand new CD’s, which is 3 less than twice the that bob (x) has. translate the situation into an algebraic equation

Answer 1

Ann = 3 CD's

Ann = 2x-3

5 = 2x-3

x= CD's bob has

5 = 2x-3 is the equation

to solve

add 3 to each side

8 = 2x

divide by 2

x =4

bob has 4 CD's, ann has 5
