a stock inventory of an item was 65 monday morning. at the close of business on friday, the inventory level was 18. how many were sold during the week. what wouldthe variable stand for and whats the equation and solve

It's your turn now. You write the equation and we'll check it.

s= number sold 65-18=n 65-18 n=47

But there's no s in your equation. Does n = the number sold?

Other than that, your equation is correct.

yes thats what i put on paper thanks. i maybe back very soon

how many 6in. fence slate are required to make an 8ft. long sctione of privacy fence? still need to writ anequation and solve with the variable

Let's see your equation.

x=the lenght 2x+2(8)=ft 2x+16=8ft 2x+18-18-18=18-8 2x/2=10/2 x=10

x = number of slats

8 / 0.5 = x

or
