By writing an equation you can easily solve this:
18+ X + 4X - 1 = 42
•we need the answer to 4X-1
1. put the parts that include the X parameter in one side and the integer numbers in one side :
X + 4X = 25
5X= 25
X= 5
2. 4X-1 —> 4x5-1 = 19
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Td
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Just multiply each line then whatever one doesnt have 180 as the answer choose it
For simplicity’s sake:
D = dogs, C = cats, R = rabbits
Since the dogs and the cats are the same number, we can say C = D.
R = 1/4D
2D + 1/4D = 36
Combine like terms and get the same denominator
9/4D = 36
9D = 144
D = 16
Now we know that D is 16, so C must be 16 as well. That leaves us with 32 cages.
36 - 32 = 4 rabbit cages. To double check this, 1/4 of 16 does equal 4.
Final answer: 16 D, 16 C, 4 R
