Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B be the number of black cars and S the number of silver.
We know that B/S = 7/4
We also know that B - S = 12
Rearrange the first: B = 7S/4
B - S = 12
7S/4 - S = 12
7S - 4S = 48
3S = 48
S = 16
B/S = 7/4
B/16 = 7/4
4B = 112
B = 28
B + S = 44 cars
I can't add the tape diagram here, but show two ribbons (tapes) for each car color and drawn so one can see the relative numbers of each.
Hello!
To solve algebraic equation, we will need to use the acronym SADMEP.
SADMEP is similar to PEMDAS, but it is strictly used for solving algebraic equations. Expanded, it is subtract, addition, division, multiplication, exponents, and then parentheses.
Looking at SADMEP, we see that subtract/addition comes first, then division/multiplication, and then exponents/parentheses.
In our equation, our goal is to isolate the variable, "x". Since we have two constants, -3 and 11, and -3 is on the side with the variable, we can add -3 to both sides of the equation first.
Therefore, the first operation needed to solve the equation is addition.

w=12
you move and subtract 4 from 16
