You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = number of CD's Tiffany has\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so if \"Ariel has 19 more CDs than her sister Tiffany has\", then Ariel has x+19 CDs\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and if \"Victor has 3 times as many CDs as Ariel has\", then Victor has 3(x+19) = 3x+57 CDs\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add them up\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+19) + (3x + 57) = 5x + 76\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is D) 5x + 76. So you are 100% correct.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
