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
