Question

someone please help me

Answer 1

3 CDs

Explanation:

So, we know that she has 65 dollars. Lets write that on one side of the equation.

Then we know that she wants to buy an unknown amount of CDs that cost 14 dollars. Lets let this unknown amount of CDs equal x.

We also know that she wants to buy one CD worth 23 dollars.

So, here is our equation.

65 = 14x + 23

Lets minus 23 from the right, but we also need to minus 23 from the left to balance out the equation.

42 = 14x

Now lets divide 14 from x, then balance the equation by doing that to 42.

3 = x

Now, we have our unknown CD amount!
