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

Number of pears Tania bought - t
Number of pears Wilma bought - w

t = w + 4
t + w = 18

(w + 4) + w = 18
2w + 4 = 18
2w = 14
w = 7

Wilma bought 7 pounds of pears.

t = (7) + 4
t = 11

Tania bought 11 pounds of pears.

There are three cardinals, five sparrows and four finches near a bird feeder. If a sharp shunned hawk randomly selects one song

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of it being a cardinal is the number of cardinals / the total number of possible birds the hawk could eat.

There are 3 + 5 + 4 = 12 total birds near the bird feeder.

There are 3 cardinals.

So the probability is 3/12 = 1/4 that the cardinal is eaten!

Determine whether abc ----> jgh is a reflection, translation, rotation, or glide reflection.

Usimov [2.4K]

From this picture you can calculate coordinates of triangles' vertices:
$A(-9,0),\ B(-6,-4),\ C(-3,0),\ J(8,0),\ G(5,4),\ H(2,0)$ .

Since

$\frac{-9+8}{2} = \frac{-6+5}{2}= \frac{-3+2}{2}=- \frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{0+0}{2}= \frac{-4+4}{2} = \frac{0+0}{2} =0$

you can conclude that points A, B, C are rotated by $180^0$ about the point (-0.5,0) to form points J, G, H, respectively.

Answer: A is correct choice.
