Answer:
18= x times 2 x= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 18 requests for country that night and those requests are twice the hip-hop songs, you know that the hip-hop multiplied by two gives you your answer. As such, you write the equation out and isolate the variable by dividing 18 by 2. Therefore, leaving x to be 9.
