Aaron had seven times as many sheep a beth, and both together they had 608. How many sheep did each have

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up your problem:

(1) a = 7b from “Aaron has 7 times as many sheep as Beth”

(2) a + b = 608 from “both together had 608”

We can choose either equation to start with and solve for one of the two variables. Starting with equation (2), add =b to both sides:

a + b = b = 608 - b

So a = 608 - b

Substitute back into equation (1) replacing a with 608 - b:

608–b = 7b

Now we solve for b. First add b to both sides:

608 - b + b = 7b + b

Therefore:

608 = 8b

Divide both sides by 8 to get:

b = 608/8 = 76

Now substitute back into equation (1):

a = 7 * 76 = 532

So the final answer is

a = 532, Aaron had 532 sheep

b = 76, Beth had 76 sheep

y > 1/3x

y < = -x + 4

hope this : )

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
