Answer 1

Answer:

Brian had 4 jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Together Cam and Brian had 24 pair of jeans. Cam had 4 less the Brian. Which inequality of equation could be used to find the number of jeans that Brian had?

Let the number of jeans

Cam had = x

Brian had = y

Hence: x + y= 24 Jeans

Cam had 4 less the Brian.

= x = y - 4

Hence:

x > y

The number of jeans Brian had is calculated as:

x + y= 24

y - 4 + y= 24

2y = 24+ 4

2y = 28

y = 28/2

y = 14 jeans
