Rachel owns 4 fewer than twice as many pairs of shoes as her friend Nicole. If Rachel has 14 pairs of shoes, how many pairs of shoes does Nicole have? (Use n as the variable.) A: Type an equation B: Solve

Respuesta :

The number of pairs of shoes that nicole has is;

A) 2n - 4 = 14

A) 2n - 4 = 14B) n = 9 pairs

Let the number of shoes nicole has be n

A) Now, Rachel has 4 fewer than twice the number of pairs that Nicole has. Thus;

Number of shoes that Rachel has = 2n - 4

B) We are told that Rachel had 14 shoes.

Thus;

2n - 4 = 14

2n = 14 + 4

2n = 18

n = 18/2

n = 9
