Aroad crew is installing 2 storm drains along every 18 mile of highway.

what will be the number of storm drains along each 1 mile section of highway?

Part A: you would first use the distributive property to find that 8[2x-14] =
16x -112 +13 = 4x -27
 
=16x -99 =4x -27 Simplify
 
16x=4x−27+99 Add 99 to both sides

16x =4x =72 Simplify

Subtract 4
r from both sides=

12x= 72

Divide both sides by 12 and you get 6.
