You need to place a certain number of large and small stones, and for every large stone, you want to use 4 small stones. hoose the correct equation to find the number of stones for each size. Then solve the equation. x + 4x = 35; 7 large stones and 28 small stones x + 5x = 35; 7 large stones and 28 small stones x + 4 = 35; 4 large stones and 31 small stones 4x = 35 + x; 12 large stones and 23 small stones 16 efine a variable and write an equation to model the situation. Then solve. The floor plan of a proposed auditorium shows a stage that measures 1.75 inches in width. The scale of the floor plan is 1 in. = 18 ft. What is the width of the proposed stage?
