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
4x + 6 < -6
First, subtract 6 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x < -6 - 6
Second, simplify -6 - 6 to -12. / Your problem should look like: 3x < -12
Third, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: x <
Fourth, simplify

to 3. / Your problem should look like: x < -3
Answer:
x < -3<span />
The answer is 4 as 4x4 is 16 (squared means the number multiplied by itself) and
<em>16+16+9=41</em>
Therefore the answer is x=4
