Answer:
4x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
6 less is -6
product of four and a number x is 4x
True because of the absolute value bars
The equation would be x+15=46. I came up with this equation because we are given the total number of people at the reunion this year and we know how many more people are here this year than last year. The unknown is the number of people last year. That is why x would represent the number of people at the reunion last year because that is the unknown. If we add 15 to the number of people last year, it will give us 46( the number of people at the reunion this year).
To find x, we just use opposite operation to get the answer. Opposite of addition is subtraction so, we subtract the number of more people and the reunion this year from the total number of people at the reunion to get the unknown number of people at the reunion last year. 46-15 is 31. Therefore we know that 31 people were at the reunion last year
X will equal 14 because the ration between two of them are 2:1. Hope it help!
