Answer: shameeka sold 20 hamsters to the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hamsters that shameeka sold to the store.

Let y represent the number of hamsters that the pet store had initially.

Shameeka sold her hamsters to a pet store. This doubled the number of hamsters in the store. It means that

x + y = 2y

x = 2y - y

x = y

Then the store got six more hamsters. If the pet store has 46 hamsters now, it means that

2y + 6 = 46

2y = 46 - 6

2y = 40

y = 40/2

y = 20

Since x = y, then

x = 20

A game field is 360 feet long. The practice field is 2/5 shorter than the practice field. How long is the game field?feet
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The practice field is 144 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

360 x 2/5 = 144

(You would multiply these numbers NOT divide!)

To check my math:

2/5 = 0.4

144/360 = 0.4

By doing the above check, I know the two equations are the same. By seeing this I can know that the answer is correct.
