Question

jeniffer has 44 more movies than rosa. Together they have 94 movies. How many movies does jeniffer have? How many movies does rosa have?

Answer 1

Jeniffer has 69 movies, and Rosa has 25 movies.

Explanation:

Since we are solving for the number of movies Rosa has, she will be our "x."

Rosa = x.

Jeniffer = x + 44

Together = 94

If we add the two girls' movies together and use the total, we get this equation;

94 = (x) + (x + 44)

Subtract 44 from both sides and add every "x" together to get;

50 = 2x

divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get the final answer;

x = 25

In other words, Jeniffer has 69 movies, and Rosa has 25 movies.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

let the number of movies Jennifer have be X.

let the number of movies Rosa have be Y.

X + Y = 94.........(1)

X = 44 + Y..........(2)

on putting the value of X in equation 1, we get:-

44 + 2Y = 94

2Y = 94 - 44

2Y = 50

Y = 25

now putting the value of Y in equation 2, we get:-

X = 44 + 25

X = 69.

Jennifer have 69 movies while Rosa have 25 movies.
