Question

karl said, " if you divide my dogs age by 4 and subtract ,i get the same result as when I divide my dogs age by 8.

solve your equation by doing the sametyhing to both sides. check your soultion

Answer 1

K/4 - 2 = K/8  by multiplying the equation by 4 we get

K - 8 = K/2  then by cross multiplying we get

2K - 16 = K

2K - K = 16

K = 16

Answer 2

[k/4]-2=k/8 (8*k/4)-2*8=8*k/8 2k-16=k 2k-k=16 k=16
