Let x represent the number of contemporary titles and y represent the number of classic titles. The system of equations models the given information for both types of DVDs.
x + y = 3,500
x – y = 2,342
Solve the system of equations. How many contemporary titles does Jarred have?

Answer 1

Answer:

x + y = 3,500 . . . (1)

x – y = 2,342 . . . (2)

(1) - (2) => 2y = 1158

y = 1158/2 = 579

x = 3500 - 579 = 2921

Therefore, he had 2,921 contempolary titles and 579 classic titles.
