d for count of disks
v for count of videos
Account for the count: d+v=40
Account for sales revenue: 4d+6v=180
The revenue equation should be simplified, dividing left and right by 2:
2d+3v=90
Elimination Method on THIS system would be most convenient:
-------------------
2d+3v=90
-------------------
d+v=40
-------------------
...
, done in head; I used multiplication of the "40" equation by 2 and subtracted from the "90" equation.
