Answer with Explanation:

Let total number of CD's = x

Then, number of CD kept by Julia
=(C)/(2)

Number of CD's Ahmed have
=(C)/(2)+5

Expressing the statement in terms of equation

Total number of CD's= Number of CD's possessed by Julia +Number of CD's Ahmed have


x= (C)/(2)+(C)/(2)+5\\\\x=C+5

So, In this situation, C+ 5 represent, total number of CD's.
