Question1. When Cal jumps 3 times and takes 6 steps forward, he lands in the same place as when he jumps 4 times and takes 2 steps backward. How long is Cal's jump in steps?

Studdy Solution
Solve the equation for the unknown variable.
First, isolate the variable terms by subtracting 3j 3j from both sides:
6=j2 6 = j - 2
Next, add 2 to both sides to solve for j j :
6+2=j 6 + 2 = j j=8 j = 8
The length of Cal's jump in steps is:
8 \boxed{8}
