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?
a. 4h+6=70
b. 4h-6=70
c. 6h+4=70
d. 6h-4=70

Answer 1

IT'S B.

Answer 2

\[\underbrace{\text{ 6 inches shorter than }}_{\Huge-6}~ \underbrace{\text{4 times his sister’s height}}_{\Huge 4h}\]
So you have \(-6+4h = 70~~\longrightarrow~~\boxed{4h-6=70}\)
