Tyler and Caleb have a CD collection. The number of CDs in Tyler's collection can be represented by x. The number of CDs in Caleb's collection is 3 times the number in Tyler's collection. The total number of CDs in both collections is 72. What is x, the number of CDs in Tyler's collection? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tayler has 18 CDs

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler = x

Caleb = 3x

x + 3x = 72

4x = 72

x = $\frac{72}{4\\}$

x = 18

Since Tayler is ''x'', he has 18 CDs.
