Question

Miranda has 24 CDs in her collection. Of those CDs, 10 are pop CDs. She has 6 more country CDs than jazz CDs. How many country CDs does Miranda have?

Answer 1

24 = P + J + C

C = 6 + J

Substitute into the original equation.

24 = 10 + J + 6 + J

Cann you solve for J to find Jazz. Then you can find Country by adding 6 to your Jazz number.
