Answer:

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!

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.
