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?

Florisalreadytaken:

ok so to start off, there were 18 songs for country right?

EmilyHerron:

yeah

Florisalreadytaken:

"country songs was 2 more than times the number of requests for hip-hop songs" -- what does this tell you?

EmilyHerron:

to multiply

Florisalreadytaken:

no

Florisalreadytaken:

you have to divide

EmilyHerron:

so i divide 2 by 18

Florisalreadytaken:

no, you divide 18 by 2, the number of requests for hip-hop songs, is as half as much as requests for country songs.

EmilyHerron:

ok well got 9

Florisalreadytaken:

correct, but you have to write it as an equation form.

EmilyHerron:

ok

EmilyHerron:

oh i forgot to put 2 more than 4/3 times

Florisalreadytaken:

are you winning?

Florisalreadytaken:

\[x=18\div2\]
