Ответ:
16 balls.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the golf balls Ricardo begin with.
Ricardo lost 6 golf balls while playing yesterday. So the number of remaining balls would be
.
He bought a box of 12 golf balls, then lost 4 on the course today.
We can represent this information as:
We have been given that now Ricardo has 18 golf balls. So we will get:
Solve for x:
Therefore, Ricardo has 16 balls to begin with.
Ответ:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(2x - 9) = -38
Distrubute the -2
-4x + 18 = -38
-18 -18
-4x = -56
Divide both sides by -4
x = 14
