Question

Jenny's height decreased by 14 is 46. use the variable j to represent jenny's height.

Answer 1

j-14= 46 or j=46+14

Explanation:

basic: It is saying that whatever Jenny's height is, minus 14, equals 46. You can reword the sentence to make more sense.

SOLVE:

1. j-14= 46 (get the variable on one side and the number on the other, do the opposite, so you would add (+14) on both sides. Doing that will cancel out the left side and leave the "J" there. then add on the other side)

2. j= 60

Answer 2

J-14=46

Explanation:

Since j is Jenny's height which is decreased by 14

J-14

Now J-14 is 46

J-14=46
