You can put this solution on YOUR website! Between them, Terry and Shelly have 50 cassettes. If Shelly has more than two thirds as many cassettes as Terry, at least how many cassettes does Shelly have? At most how much does Terry have?
Step 1. Let be the number of cassettes Terry has.
Step 2. Let be the number of cassettes Shelly has since she has more than two-thirds as many cassettes as Terry.
Step 3. Then be the total of cassettes.
Step 4. Solving for x yields the following steps:
Multiply by to both sides of the equation to find x
and and both add up to 50 cassettes.
Step 5. ANSWER: Terry has 30 cassettes and Shelley has 20 cassettes.
I hope the above steps were helpful.
