Answer 1

Given:

Victoria has 9.7 more feet of rope than Gerri. Victoria has 35.3 feet of rope.

Required:

To find the equation and solution represent the number of feet of rope.

Explanation:

Let x be the Gerri rope.

Victoria has 9.7 more feet of rope than Gerri.

$9.7+x$

Victoria has 35.3 feet of rope,

$\begin{gathered} 9.7+x=35.3 \\ x=35.3-9.7 \\ x=25.6 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer:

The third option is correct.

$\begin{gathered} x+9.7=35.3 \\ x=25.6 \end{gathered}$
