Hakeem owns seven less than 3/5
the number of DVDs that Manuel owns. Hakeem owns 20 DVDs. How many DVDs does Manuel own? Show your work.

45 DVDs

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number of DVDs owned by Manuel is x.

In comparison to Manuel therefore, the DVDs owned by Hakeem can be expressed as:

= 3/5 * x - 7

We know that Hakeem owns 20 DVDs so we can use this number to solve for x:

20 = 3/5x - 7

3/5x = 20 + 7

3/5x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/5

x = 27 * 5/3

x = 45 DVDs
