Andre hit 4 more home runs than twice the number of home runs Hassan hit. Together, they hit 10 home runs.

Write an equation which can be used to find the total number of home runs, h, Hassan hit.

( )( ) + ( ) = ( )

7 answers

To find the total number of home runs, \( h \), that Hassan hit, we need to set up an equation based on the problem statement.

  1. Let \( h \) represent the number of home runs Hassan hit.
  2. According to the problem, Andre hit 4 more home runs than twice the number of home runs Hassan hit, which can be expressed as \( 2h + 4 \).
  3. Together, they hit 10 home runs.

Putting this information into an equation, we have:

\[ h + (2h + 4) = 10 \]

Now we can fill in the blanks based on this equation:

  • (h) + (2h + 4) = (10)

So the complete equation format is:

( \( h \) ) + ( \( 2h + 4 \) ) = ( \( 10 \) )

wrong answer give me a different one

I apologize for any confusion. Let’s break it down correctly.

Given the statements:

  1. Let \( h \) be the number of home runs Hassan hit.
  2. Andre hit \( 2h + 4 \) home runs (which is 4 more than twice what Hassan hit).
  3. Together, they hit a total of 10 home runs.

From this, we can create the equation based on the total home runs:

\[ h + (2h + 4) = 10 \]

Now, let's express it in the requested format:

( h ) + ( 2h + 4 ) = ( 10 )

LaShawn won 71 tokens playing basketball at the county fair. At school, she gave 3 tokens to every student in her math class. She only has 5 tokens remaining.(1 point)
Write an equation that can be used to find the total number of students, s, in her math class.

( )s + ( ) = ( )

How many students were in LaShawn’s math class?

( ) students

To find the total number of students \( s \) in LaShawn's math class, we can set up an equation based on the situation you provided.

  1. LaShawn started with 71 tokens.
  2. She gives 3 tokens to each student in her class, which means she gives away \( 3s \) tokens (where \( s \) is the number of students).
  3. After giving away tokens, she has 5 tokens remaining.

The equation that represents this situation is:

\[ 71 - 3s = 5 \]

Now, we can fill in the blanks in the format you provided:

( 71 ) - ( 3 )s + ( 5 ) = ( 0 )

Rearranging the terms provides a bit more clarity:

( 3 )s + ( 5 ) = ( 71 )

Now, let's solve for \( s \) to find out how many students are in LaShawn's math class:

Starting with the rearranged equation: \[ 3s + 5 = 71 \]

Subtracting 5 from both sides: \[ 3s = 66 \]

Dividing both sides by 3: \[ s = 22 \]

So, there were 22 students in LaShawn’s math class.

To summarize:

  • Equation: ( 3 )s + ( 5 ) = ( 71 )
  • Answer: ( 22 ) students
Menendez has $55 in his savings account. He deposits $10 every week and doesn’t take any money out. He wants to save $135 to buy a used tablet. The equation 10w+55=135
can be used to determine the number of weeks, w, that Menendez needs to save money in order to buy the tablet.

How many weeks will it take Menendez to save $135?

( ) weeks

To determine how many weeks \( w \) it will take Menendez to save $135, we can solve the equation provided:

\[ 10w + 55 = 135 \]

  1. Begin by isolating the term with \( w \). Subtract 55 from both sides:

\[ 10w = 135 - 55 \] \[ 10w = 80 \]

  1. Now, divide both sides by 10 to solve for \( w \):

\[ w = \frac{80}{10} \] \[ w = 8 \]

Thus, it will take Menendez 8 weeks to save $135.

In summary:

  • ( 8 ) weeks
