Ben and Kyle regularly golf together. Every time they play, Ben takes four fewer shots than Kyle. Using one variable, write an equation to represent the total shots taken by Ben and Kyle.

2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to use one variable.

Let's use "x" and call that number of shots taken by "Kyle"

So, we say:

Kyle takes "x" shots

It is told that Ben takes 4 fewer shots than Kyle, so:

Ben takes "x - 4"

So, the amount of shots both take is the sum of both shown above. So,

Total Shot = x + x - 4

Simplifying:

2x - 4

answer:

it will cost 480 dollars to refurbish the larger wood floor

step-by-step explanation:

as it's a ratio of 4 that costs 384 dollars, divide the price by the ratio

384 / 4 = 96 dollars

96 dollars per unit of the ratio

now to get the price to refurbish the larger wood floor, times the price by the units

96 * 5 = 480

range is infinite on both x and y axis positive and negative
