. A playground has a total of 18 swings and slides. There are as many swings
as there are slides. How many are there of each?
18/2 =
What is the answer for the question I typed in!!!!!!!!!?????
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume that the number of swings is "x". Since there are as many swings as there are slides, the number of slides is also "x".
The total number of swings and slides is given as 18. So, we can write the equation as:
x + x = 18
Simplifying this equation, we have:
2x = 18
To find the value of "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2x/2 = 18/2
x = 9
Therefore, there are 9 swings and 9 slides in the playground.
