Answer 1

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

• x = total no. of deers in the heard

Equation:

• 1/2 (x) + 3/4 (1/2 x) + 9 = x

Solution:

• 1/2 x + 3/8x + 9 = x
• 9 = x - 1/2 x - 3/8 x
• 9 = x - 0.5 x - 0.375 x
• 9 = 0.125 x
• x = 72

By Substitution:

• 1/2 (72) + 3/4 (36) + 9 = 72
• 36 + 27 + 9 = 72
• 72 = 72
