Shanyn’s CD collection consists of hip-hop and pop CDs. She has ten more than one-half as many pop CDs as she does hip-hop CDs. Shanyn has a total of 46 CDs in her collection.
Write and solve an equation for h, the number of hip-hop CDs that Shanyn has in her collection. Your equation should only have one variable.
p = h/2 + 10
p + h = 46 so p = 46-h
so
46 - h = h/2+ 10
3h/2 = 36
h/2 = 12
h = 24
