Question

5. Jackson has 5 more CDs than Amal. They have a total of 95 CDs. How many CDs does Amal have?

Answer 1

45 CDs

Explanation:

Let's assume Amal has x CDs.

According to the given information, Jackson has 5 more CDs than Amal, so Jackson has x + 5 CDs.

The total number of CDs they have is 95, so we can write the equation:

x + (x + 5) = 95

Simplify the equation

2x + 5 = 95

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

2x = 90

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 45

Therefore, Amal has 45 CDs.

Answer 2

• 45 CDs

------------------

Let the number of CDs Amal has be x. Then Jackson has x + 5 and both together 95 CDs.

Set up an equation:

• x + x + 5 = 95
• 2x + 5 = 95
• 2x = 90
• x = 45

Hence Amal has 45 CDs.
