Complete Question:
Olivia has 28 video discs, which is 8 less than 4 times the number of video discs in M collection. How many videos does M own?
Answer:
9 video discs
Explanation:
Let M video collection = x
Given the following data;
O video disc = 28
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
28 = 4x - 8
28 + 8 = 4x
36 = 4x
x = 36/4
x = 9 discs
Therefore, M owns 9 video discs.
