Question

Jarred sells DVDs. His inventory shows that he has a total of 3,500 DVDs. He has 2,342 more contemporary titles than classic titles. Let x represent the number of contemporary titles and y represent the number of classic titles. The system of equations models the given information for both types of DVDs.
x + y = 3,500

x – y = 2,342

Solve the system of equations. How many contemporary titles does Jarred have?

1,158
1,737
2,342
2,921

Answer 1

Here, x - y = 2342x = 2342 + y
Substitute this value into first equation, 2342 + y + y = 35002y = 3500 - 2342y = 1158/2y = 579
So, x = 2342 + 579 = 2921
In short, Your Answer would be 2921 contemporary titles
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

2921 would be the answer on edge.
