Question

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

Which equation represents h, his sister’s height in inches?
1.4 h + 6 = 70
2.4 h minus 6 = 70
3.6 h + 4 = 70
4.6 h minus 4 = 70

Answer 1

Let's first write down the given information in the form of an equation:

Jahlil's height = 70 inches
Jahlil's height = 4 times his sister's height - 6 inches

So, we can write the equation as:

70 = 4h - 6

where h represents his sister's height in inches.

Now, let's solve for h:

70 + 6 = 4h

76 = 4h

h = 76/4

h = 19

Therefore, Jahlil's sister's height is 19 inches.

The correct equation that represents h, his sister's height in inches is 1. 4h + 6 = 70.
