Solve the problem by translating it into an equation.

Molly spent twice as many hours as Peyton in a hot air balloon. She spent 46 hours fewer than Kurt. The total for all three balloonists was 246 hours. How long did Kurt spend in the balloon?

96 hours

Hope you consider giving me brainliest and five stars :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let;

Molly = M

Peyton = P

Kurt = K

M spent twice as many hours as Peyton (M=2P). She (Peyton) spent 46 hours fewer than Kurt. (P=K-46). The total for all three balloonists was 246 hours (M+P+K=246 hours). How long did Kurt spend in the balloon? (K=?)

M=2P

P=K-46

K=?

M+P+K=246

So, now we replace P for our value above.

Distribute 2.

Solve;

Add 138 on both sides to isolate 4K.

Divide by 4 to isolate K.

Therefore, Kurt was 96 hours in the balloon.

1. is 4 and 2. is 3

step-by-step explanation:

so if you look at the first one you see that 1 is to 4 and 2 is to 8 and so on, so you can see for every 1 there is a times 4 so if it were 3 then it would be 3*4 and it is 12

for number 2 it is 3 because 1 is to 3 and 2 is to 6 so for every 1 there is 3 so if it were 3 then there would be 3*3 = 9
