Question

Dividing my dog’s age by 4 and adding 6 is the same as dividing my dog’s age by 8 and adding 8.

StartFraction x Over 4 EndFraction + 6 = StartFraction x Over 8 EndFraction + 8

How old is my dog?

years old

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

a = age

1. 
   `(a)/(4) + 6 = (a)/(8) + 8`
2. you will multiply by 8 now
3. 
   `2a + 48 = a + 64`
4. now move a's with a's and the numbers that don't have a variable with each other
5. 
   `2a - a = 64 - 48`
6. now subtract
7. 
   `a = 16`
8. I hope it helps you!
