Question

Each crate of ceramic tiles has 68 more hexagonal tiles than square tiles. Let s represent the number of square tiles in a crate and h represent the number of hexagonal tiles in the same crate. Find the value of h when s=9. WHAT IS H PLS HELP

Answer 1

h = 77

Explanation:

From the problem, we are given that the number of square tiles in a crate is = s.

Also, the number of hexagonal tiles in the same crate = h

We can set up an equation to represent the relationship between the square and hexagonal tiles.

Because there are 68 more hexagonal tiles than square tiles in each crate, we can represent h:

`h = 68 +s`

When s = 9, we can easily find the value of h by replacing s with 9 in the above equation.

`h =68+9=77`
