There are 3 sticks because:
4 sticks is the total and when you take away 1 stick, it is
4 - 1, which equals 3 sticks
So, the answer is 3 sticks are left.
Question: If u are in high school, why did you ask this question? You already know 4-1=3. Im guessing it was either a joke, or u were helping other people get points. If it is the second one, thx!!
Assuming you have to create an equation...
s is what you have to figure out so it is the subject of the rule
s=
you now need to find out what to do with the other side
you are taking 50 FROM 80 so
s=80-50
s=30
your answer is 30
Answer:
multiply the distance they walked by 4 since they walked for 4 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the first number
x+1 = the second number
The sum of our two numbers is therefore: x + (x+1)
When you subtract 13 from the above you get 18 left over.
So our equation is:
x + (x+1) - 13 = 18
Now we can just solve for x:
x + (x+1) = 31
2x + 1 = 31
2x = 30
x = 15
So our first number is 15 and our second number must be 16.
