Karen's music library contains 18 fewer playlists than Clarann's music library. The total number of playlists on both music libraries is 40. Find the number of playlists on each person's music library.

Answer:

let Karen's music library be represented by K

let Clarann's music library be represented by C

C = K +18

C +K =40

put C = K +18 into (C +K =40)

K + 18 +K =40

2K +18 = 40

collect like terms

2K =40 -18

2K =22

divide both sides by 2

K =11

since C = K+18

C= 11 +18

C =29

Karen's music library contains 11 playlists while Clarann's music library contains 29 playlists
