Answer 1

Equation is 60 - (1/4)*x=24

Answer 2

Answer:

 $60-\dfrac{1}{4}\times x=24$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Mr. Valenzuela new bottle of shampoo contains 60 ounces of shampoo.

He uses 1/4 ounce of shampoo each time he washes his hair.

Let x be the number of washes after which 24 ounces will remain in the bottle.

Then,   $60-\dfrac{1}{4}\times x=24$

Hence, the equation that can be used to find x,number of washes after which 24 ounces will remain is:

    $60-\dfrac{1}{4}\times x=24$
