If we let x be the number of stars he puts on each poster, then the total number of stars used can be represented by the equation:
2x = 14
Now, solve for x:
x = 14 / 2
x = 7
So, Greg put 7 stars on each poster. The correct answer is d) 7.
Answer:
d) 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's denote the number of stars Greg put on each poster as [tex] x [/tex].
Since he put the same number of stars on each poster, the total number of stars used is [tex] 2x [/tex].
According to the given information:
[tex] 2x = 14 [/tex]
Now, solve for [tex] x [/tex]:
[tex] 2x = 14 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 2:
[tex] x = \dfrac{14}{2} [/tex]
[tex] x = 7 [/tex]
So, the number of stars Greg put on each poster ([tex] x [/tex]) is 7.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex] \Large\boxed{\boxed{\textsf{d) } 7}} [/tex]
