Kristin has 4 more headbands than Nikki does. Together they have 30 headbands. The equation h + (h+ 4) = 30 can be used to
determine the number of headbands each girl has. What part of the equation represents the number of headbands Kristin has?
A:h
B:h+4
C:4
D:30

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) H+4

Step-by-step explanation:

I do this in a different way, but i'll do it in both

Mine:

30 ÷ 2 = 15

4 ÷ 2 = 2

15+2, 15 -2

17, 13

Kristen Has 17

Yours:

h+(h+4)=30

     -4   -4

h+h = 26

2h = 26,

h = 13, Back to the equation, use 13 as a sub. for all the h's

13+(13+4) = 30

13 + 17 = 30

Hope this helps!

Answer:

h + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of headbands Nikki has is represented by h, since it is an unknown value. To create a solvable equation, we can only have one variable. Since we know that Kristen has 4 more than Nikki has (4 more than h), we can represent this as h + 4, and solve for h. By doing this, we can then add to h to number 4 and determine how mnay headbands Kristen has.
