Break it down
"15 less than " means -15
"a number" means unknown or placeholder means x
"is equal to" means '='
'12' means 12
-15+x=12
add 15
x=27

Marcie bought a total of 20 used books and cds during a yard sale for a total of 54.50$. of books cost 1.50$ each and cds 5$ eac
melomori [17]
Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'

We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒ b+c=20
Equation [2] ⇒ 1.50b+5c=54.50

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought

When we have two equations in terms of two different variables; b and c, that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem. 

First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either b or c the subject:
b+c=20
b=20-c

Then we substitute b=20-c into Equation [2]
1.50b+5c=54.50
1.50(20-c)+5c=54.50
30-1.50c+5c=54.50
5c-1.5c=54.50-30
3.5c=24.50
c=7

Now we know the value of c which is c=7, substitute this value into b=20-c we have b=20-7=13

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
