So to start we need to divide 72 by 9 and you would get 8
Then multiply 2 by eight and you get 16

There are 16 horses.

Hope this helps!

In this expression, the cost of each individual soda is represented by the variable x which is multiplied by 4 since each one of the four friend's purchased their own soda. After making this multiplication process that product is added to the initial $12 that they all spent together on the popcorn.
