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).
[tex]2x-3=5\\2x=5+3\\2x=8\\[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 2;
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\\x=4[/tex]
Bob the 4 brand new CDs.
