Took the test and got it right

Answer 2

The required equation is 4h-6=70.

Explanation:

It is given that Jahlil is 6 inches shorter than 4 times his sister’s height. Jahlil’s height is 70 inches.

Let h be his sister’s height in inches.

4 times of his sister’s height = 4h

6 inches shorter than 4 times his sister’s height = 4h - 7

Since Jahlil is 6 inches shorter than 4 times his sister’s height, therefore the Jahlil's height is

`H(h)=4h-6`

It is given that Jahlil’s height is 70 inches.

`H(h)=70`

`4h-6=70`

Therefore the required equation is 4h-6=70.
