Answer:
the bottom
Step-by-step explanation:
14=6+2x
subtract 6 from both sides
8=2x
divide both sides by 2
x=4 candy bars
Answer:
From given, we have,
Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.
Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.
Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.
So, we get,
For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T
⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)
For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T
⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)
equating equations (1) and (2), we get,
3/2 x - 16 = 4/3 x - 6
6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x
-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x
-60 = -x
x = 60 inches.
Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.
you have to expand this question to make it x
