Question

So 22 is 2/3 of her collection + 4, so take away the 4 and you have 2/3 of her collection = 18!$$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x=18$$ where x is her collection. Can you get it from there?

no totally confused

Haha, sorry! So, 22 is the total amount of photos they posted. Which is made up of the 2/3 of her collection, as well as the 4 on the homepage, yes?

thank you but ahint too the answer, is it less than 22

anonymous · Answer

No, I don't think it is! Do you need help with the equation I got to before?

anonymous · Answer

yes

Ok, $$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x=18$$Times both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction$$2x=18\times3=54$$Then divide both sides by 2, so you have$$x=54/2=27$$ where x is the collection!
