-16=4j j=4
is this rite?how do you check if rite?
It is wrong. When you add 28 to both sides, one gets

j= 10
in baseball, the pither's mound is 6 in. more than 20 yd from home plate . how many feet is this
To find out how many feet the pitcher's mound is from home plate, you need to convert the given distance of 20 yards into feet.
1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so you can multiply 20 yards by 3 to get the equivalent distance in feet:
20 yards * 3 feet/yard = 60 feet
So, 20 yards is equal to 60 feet.
Now, the pitcher's mound is 6 inches more than 60 feet from home plate. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, you can convert the inches into feet:
6 inches * 1 foot/12 inches = 0.5 feet
Therefore, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet + 0.5 feet = 60.5 feet from home plate.
