A DJ tracks the song requests she receives on a Friday night. She noted that the number of requests for country songs was 2 more than times the number of requests for hip-hop songs. There were 18 requests for country. If x represents the number of requests for hip-hop songs, which equation represents this situation? How many requests for hip-hop songs did the DJ receive on Friday night?
ok so to start off, there were 18 songs for country right?
yeah
"country songs was 2 more than times the number of requests for hip-hop songs" -- what does this tell you?
to multiply
no
you have to divide
so i divide 2 by 18
no, you divide 18 by 2, the number of requests for hip-hop songs, is as half as much as requests for country songs.
ok well got 9
correct, but you have to write it as an equation form.
ok
oh i forgot to put 2 more than 4/3 times
are you winning?
\[x=18\div2\]
