for christmas steve bought 5 more cds than dvds as presents for his freinds. he bought 21 in all . how many cds did he buy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
means number of cd together with dvd is equal to ---------how much
12 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you write these as equations, it helps in the analysis.
CD=DVD+5
CD+DVD=21
CD=21-DVD
21-DVD=DVD+5
16=2DVD
DVD=8
Which means CD=13.
We then check if the solution satisfies the original equation. 8+13=21 and there are 5 more CDs than DVDs

So CDs = DVDs + 5
CDs + DVDs = 21
Substitute.
DVDS + 5 + DVDs = 21
2DVDs = 16
DVDs = 8
CDs = 13

we can keep No. of CD = x +5,
No. of DVD x
12 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = x - 5
-x -x
--------
-5 whould be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no no we have to add number of cd with no of dvd
12 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i.e., x + x + 5 = ?
