Jennie has 177 more songs downloaded on her mp3 player than Diamond. Together, they have 895 songs downloaded. What system of equations could be used to determine how many songs each girl has downloaded?

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 536 songs downloaded by Jennie and 359 songs downloaded by Diamond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of songs has downloaded by Jennie be 'x'.

Let the number of songs has downloaded by Diamond be 'y'.

According to question,

[tex]x-y=177-------(1)\\\\x+y=895--------(2)[/tex]

Now, we will solve it using "Substitution method":

From eq(1), we have

x=177+y

So, put the above expression in eq(2),

Therefore, it becomes,

[tex]177+y+y=895\\\\177+2y=895\\\\2y=895-177\\\\2y=718\\\\y=\dfrac{718}{2}\\\\y=359[/tex]

So, if we put the value of y in the expression : x= 177+y

x = 177+359

x=536

Hence, there are 536 songs downloaded by Jennie and 359 songs downloaded by Diamond.

Diamond has 359 songs on her mp3 player while Jennie has

536 songs.

Let us suppose,

Diamond has x songs.

So, Jennie will have x+177 songs

How Two algebraic expressions are added?

Two expressions are added such that similar monomials are added to each other.

It is given that:

They have together 895 songs

i.e. x+x+177 = 895

2x+177 =895

2x =718

x =359

x+177 = 536

Diamond has 359 songs on her mp3 player while Jennie has

536 songs.
