Let x= the total number of records Rachel has
First, since we now that Rachel has 4 times more records than Tiana, then 4x=160

Isolate x by dividing each side by 4. Then you get x=40

Therefore, the number of records in Tiana’s collection is 40.

I’m assuming your in 8th grade learning about linear equations.
Tiana: X
Rachel: 4X
Total: X + 4X = 5X

Tiana is one unit ( X ) , so find 1 X
1X = 160 divide by 5
X = 32
Tiana has 32 number of records.
