Use any letter "x" is the usual one but since you have 2 you can use 2 different ones.
If you change both to a fraction you would see that you have 1/6 and 1/4 (.25 as a fraction). So 1/5 would be in between them.
You could also change both as a decimal. 1/6 =.166666 and .25 so any number in between them would be correct such as .2 which is the same as 1/5.
Answer:
The height of each step is 1957 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
Tristan is building steps up to a deck that is 15656 yards above the ground
so, total height =15656 yards
Number of steps =8
now, we can use formula
Height of each step = ( total height)/( number of steps)
now, we can plug these values
and we get
Height of each step is


2 and 1/2 - 1 and 1/2
since both equations have 1/2, 1/2 - 1/2 automatically is 0
then youll need to subtract 1 from 2 which is 1
