I have a total of 10 gigabytes of data on my computer, x gigabytes are movies, pictures take up half the amount of space that movies do and the rest is music. How many gigabytes of music is stored on my computer?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Movies: x gig

pictures: x/2 gig

music:  10 - x - x/2 = 10 - (3/2)x

The amount of gigabytes of music stored on the computer is:

[tex]y = 5 - x[/tex]

In which x is the amount stored in movies.

We solve this question representing the amount of music as a variable, that I will call y.

The total amount of data is 10 gigabytes.

Division of the 10 gigabytes:

Half in pictures, that is, 10/2 = 5 gigabytes.

x are movies.

The rest, y, are music.

Thus, since the sum of this all is 10, we have that:

[tex]5 + x + y = 10[/tex]

[tex]y = 10 - 5 - x[/tex]

[tex]y = 5 - x[/tex]

Thus, the amount of gigabytes of music stored on the computer is [tex]y = 5 - x[/tex], considering x as the amount of gigabytes of movies stored.
