Question

Part A

Answer 1

Part A: 2x-3=5

Part B: Bob the 4 brand new CDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of CDs Ann has = 5

Number of CDs Bob has = x

Ann has 3 less CDs than twice the number of Bob's CDs.

Number of Ann's CDs = 2x - 3

Part A: Translate the situation into an algebraic equation:

2x-3=5

Part B: For the correct equation, find the value of x (the number of brand new CD'd Bob has).

$2x-3=5\\2x=5+3\\2x=8$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\\x=4$

Bob the 4 brand new CDs.
