Paul: 140 + 12x
Jacklyn: 56 + 16x
Where x is how many practice sessions he had this season
"After how many more practices will Paul and Jacklyn have completed the same number of laps?"
This means what will x be if both equations are equal to each other
140 + 12x = 56 + 16x
Isolate x in one side by subtracting both sides by 12x
140 + 12x - 12x = 56 + 16x - 12x
140 = 56 + 4x
Subtract both sides by 56 to shift the 56 from the right side to the left side
140 - 56 = 56 - 56 + 4x
84 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
84/4 = 4/4x
21 = x
x = 21
They'll have completed the same number of laps after 21 practices
Hope it helps :)
Branliest would be appreciated
Answer: I would say A or C bc they are similar but C seems more reasonable.
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate an expression with a given variable means to replace the number in the place of the variable, and then solve to find what the expression equals.
Example would be: x + 3 and x = 4
x + 3
4+3 = 7
7 is the value of the expression now.
