It's simple multiplication
Yvonne ran up 12 flights of stairs.
Explanation:
Understand the situation:
Yvonne ran up 1/4 of the total stairs. Afterwards, she walked the REST of the stairs, which is said to be 9 STAIRS. HOW MANY flights of stairs IN TOTAL did she run up?
When she ran the REST of the stairs, it meant she ran the other 3/4 of stairs because:
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
To add someting, that means that the 9 stairs is 3/4 of the total stairs, so lets fins the total stairs using this information:
9 ÷ 3/4 = 12
LETS CHECK IF 9 IS REALLY 3/4 of 12:
12 x 3/4 = 9

Step-by-step explanation
The orange machine, the very end of the shovel part. That line is a slope. The middle part of the scooper could also be a slope. The very beginng part of the scooper is also a slope. The bottom part of the scooper is also a slope. The bottom part at the end of the scooper could also be slope.
Take out common factor, 3 :
3x - 3 = 3(x - 1)
------------------------------------
Answer: 3(x - 1)
------------------------------------
If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
<span>truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs</span>
