Question 950847
Monday: she has x CDs


Tuesday: she has x+10 CDs since she bought 10 more


Wednesday: half were destroyed, so (x+10)/2 were destroyed. Half were left over, so (x+10)/2 is left over


Thursday: She has 22 CDs left.


-------------------------------------------------------


(x+10)/2 = 22



x+10 = 22*2



x+10 = 44



x = 44-10



x = 34


She had <font color="red">34</font> CDs on Monday.
