Ann has the 5 newest music CDs, which is 3 less than twice the amount that Bob has. How many CDs does Bob have?

We can write it down as:
5 = 2x - 3 / + 3 (both sides) 8 = 2x / : 2 (both sides) x = 4
Bob has 4 CDs . Let's check it:
5 = 2 * 4 - 3 5 = 8 - 3 5 = 5
Correct.

Bob has 4 CDs. This is determined by setting up an equation based on Ann's CDs being 3 less than twice the number Bob has. The calculation shows that Bob's total is correct upon verification.
