You want to surround the perimeter of a garden with 35 stones. You need to place a certain number of large and small stones, and for every large
stone, you want to use 4 small stones. Choose the correct equation to find the number of stones for each size. Then solve the equation
OAX + 4x = 35,7 large stones and 28 small stones
O B. X+5x = 35, 7 large stones and 28 small stones
O cx + 4 = 35, 4 large stones and 31 small stones
D. 4x = 35 + x 12 large stones and 23 small stones

Respuesta :

Answer: A) x + 4x = 35;  7 large stones and 28 small stones

======================================================

Explanation:

x = number of large stones

4x = number of small stones

x+4x = total number of stones = 35

x+4x = 35 is the equation to solve

-----------

Let's isolate x

x+4x = 35

5x = 35

x = 35/5

x = 7 large stones are needed

4x = 4*7 = 28 small stones are needed
