The correct question is
<span>Michael sold 2/3 of his CDs and purchased 16 more. If Michael has 25 CDs now, how many CDs did he have to begin with?
Let
x--------------> numbers of CDs Michael have to begin
if Michael sold (2/3)x-----------> </span><span>are pending to sell (1/3)x
we know that
(1/3)x+16=25--------> </span>(1/3)x=25-16-------> (1/3)x=9---------> x=27
the answer is 27 CDs
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 7x - 14 = 2x + 11 {Add 14 to both sides}
7x - 14 +14 = 2x + 11 +14
7x = 2x + 25
7x - 2x = 2x + 25 - 2x
5x = 25 {Divide both sides by 5}
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
2) 6x + 5 = 3x + 14
6x = 3x + 14 - 5
6x = 3x + 9
6x - 3x = 9
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
3) 12x + 5 = 4x +37
12x = 4x + 37 - 5
12x = 4x + 32
12x - 4x = 32
8x = 32
x = 32/8
x = 4
4) 3x + 8 = 2x + 21
3x = 2x + 21 - 8
3x = 2x + 13
3x - 2x = 13
x = 13
5) 5x + 3 = x + 11
5x = x + 11 -3
5x = x + 8
5x - x = 8
4x = 8
x= 8/4
x = 2
To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
