Let V=number of videos, C=number of CDs
\n" ); document.write( "V+C=7; V=7-C
\n" ); document.write( "$14.95V+$16.88C=$114.30 Substitute for V
\n" ); document.write( "$14.95(7-C)+$16.88C=$114.30
\n" ); document.write( "$104.65-$14.95C+$16.88C=$114.30 Subtract $104.65 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "$1.93C=$9.65 Divide each side by $1.93
\n" ); document.write( "C=5 ANSWER 1: She bought 5 CDs
\n" ); document.write( "V=7-C=7-5=2 ANSWER 2: She bought 2 videos
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "$14.95(V)+$16.88(C)=$114.30
\n" ); document.write( "$14.95(2)+$16.88(5)=$114.30
\n" ); document.write( "$29.90+$84.40=$114.30
\n" ); document.write( "$114.30=$114.30\r
