alejandro downloaded 7 videos

Explanation:

Answer 2

Alejandro downloaded 7 videos.

Explanation:

Let
`x` videos and
`y` songs be downloaded.

Given:

Cost of 1 video = $ 5

∴ Cost of x videos =
`5x`

Cost of 1 song = $ 1

∴ Cost of y songs =
`y`

Total cost for the downloads is $ 54.

So,
`5x+y=54` ................. 1

Also, total number of downloads is 26.

So,
`x + y = 26` ............... 2

Subtract equation 2 from 1, we get

`5x-x+y-y=54-26\\4x=28\\x=(28)/(4)=7`

Therefore, the number of videos downloaded are 7.
