Jimmy and Alex each have a CD collection. • The number of CDs in Jimmy's collection can be represented by x. • The number of CDs in Alex's collection is 4 times the number in Walter's collection. • The total number of CDs in both collections is 205. What is x, the number of CDs in Walter's collection?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 41

And, the  number of CDs in Walter's collection is 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Given that

The number of CDs in Jimmy collection = x

The number of CDs in Alex's collection = 4x

And, The total number of CDs in both collections is 205

So, the equation is

x + 4x = 205

5x = 205

x = 41

The alex collection is

= 4 × 41

= 164

So, the walter collection is

= 164 ÷ 4

= 41
