The equation would be (x+4)+x=18. X stands for the amount of pears Wilma bought, and (x+4) is the amount of pears Tania bought (because she bought four more pounds than Wilma).
(X+4)+x=18
2x+4=18 (now you subtract four from both sides)
2x=14 (to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2)
X=7
Wilma bought 7 pounds of pears :3

3/8 (already simplified)
2/8+3/8=5/8
Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to that question is 3/7
Simple. Just add/subtract each term. 4n-2n=2n. 8m+7m=15m.
This is very basic stuff.
