Answer:
(20-3x)/2 GB
Explanation:
Total amount of data on my computer = 10GB
Total amount of data occupied by movies = x GB
If pictures take up half the amount of space that movies do, then;
Total amount of data occupied by pictures = 1/2 of space occupied by movies = 1/2 x
If the remaining are music, the amount of space occupied by music will be expressed as shown;
Total space -(space occupied by movies + space occupied by pictures)
= 10 - (x+1/2 x)
Total amount of data occupied by music = 10 - (x+1/2 x) GB
On simplification;
= 10 - (x+1/2 x)
= 10-{(2x+x)/2}
= 10 - {3x/2}
= (20-3x)/2 GB
Hence, amount of gigabytes of music stored on my computer is expressed as (20-3x)/2 GB.

Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Jeremy can simplify the equation enough to determine if the x-coefficient on one side of the equation is the same or different from the x-coefficient on the other side. Here, that simplification is ...
-3x -3 +3x = -3x +3 +3
We see that the x-coefficient on the left is 0; on the right, it is -3. These values are different, so there is one solution.
__
In the attached, the left-side expression is called y1; the right-side expression is called y2. The two expressions are equal where the lines they represent intersect. That point of intersection is x=3. (For that value of x, both sides of the equation have a value of -3.)

<em>Additional comment</em>
If the equation's x-coefficients were the same, we'd have to look at the constants. If they're the same, there are an infinite number of solutions. If they are different, there are no solutions.
