Cassandra measured her height as 63 inches. That is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother’s height. How tall is her younger brother? Write an equation in the form px+q=r to represent this problem. (2 points)
3x + _ = 63
The middle is -6
the 6 is wrong
are you stupid
Incorrect it’s + not -
its not 6
its not - its +, and the answer is not 6
the middle answer isnt 6
Let x represent the height of Cassandra's younger brother.
The equation that represents the problem is:
3x - 6 = 63
So, in the form px + q = r, the equation is:
3x - 6 = 63
To solve this problem, let's first represent Cassandra's younger brother's height as "x".
We know that Cassandra's height is 6 inches less than three times her younger brother's height. Therefore, three times her younger brother's height would be 3x, and 6 inches less than that would be 3x - 6.
Cassandra's height is measured as 63 inches, so we can set up the equation:
3x - 6 = 63
Now we have an equation in the form px + q = r, where p = 3, q = -6, and r = 63.
To represent this problem using an equation in the form px + q = r, let's assign the variable x to represent Cassandra's younger brother's height.
Given that Cassandra's height is 63 inches, which is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother's height, we can set up the equation as follows:
3x - 6 = 63
So, the equation in the form px + q = r representing this problem is:
3x - 6 = 63.
