The total number of bears in the park during year two is 42 right and solve a linear equation to determine how many beers are in the park during year explain the answer

1 answer

If the total number of bears in the park during year two is 42, we can set up a linear equation to determine how many bears are in the park during year one.

Let x be the number of bears in the park during year one.

Given that the total number of bears in the park during year one and year two is 42, we can set up the equation:

x + 42 = 42

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x = 42 - 42
x = 0

Therefore, there are 0 bears in the park during year one. This implies that all 42 bears were introduced to the park during year two.
