A bear was climbing a tree. It took a few steps forward and then slipped a few steps backward. After taking 12 total steps of eq
ual distance, it was back at its starting position. How many steps did the bear take in the forward and backward directions? (1 point) 7 steps forward and 5 steps backward
4 steps forward and 8 steps backward
5 steps forward and 7 steps backward
6 steps forward and 6 steps backward
it would be 6 and 6 since it states equal distance and it also says a few forward and a few backward. It makes it sound like this was an equal amount each way
