Question

Travis streamed a total of 10 movies last month. Two of the movies were comedies and the rest were science fiction. This is represented by the equation 2+s=10.How many science fiction movies did Travis stream?

Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} Total=10\text{ movies} \\ comedies=2 \\ science\text{ fiction}=s \\ \\ Equation\text{ is:} \\ 2+s=10 \end{gathered}`

To get the number of science fiction movies that Travis streams, we solve the equation for s

`\begin{gathered} 2+s=10 \\ Collecting\text{ the like terms:} \\ s=10-2 \\ s=8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Travis streamed 8 science fiction movies.
