We are given statement : 3 more than a number then divided the result by 8.
We need to write an algebraic expression for it.
Let us assume unknown number be n.
3 more than n = (n+3).
Now, we need to divide that result (n+3) by 8.
So, we would get (n+3) divided by 8 = .
Set it up like a regular equation. I used:
As you can see, however, I inserted the "less than" symbol rather than the equal sign because values greater than a certain value can also equal "x". Solve it like a normal equation and you will arrive at:
<u>
</u>
This means that, as long as x is greater than 45, "6x" will be greater than "3x+135". Thus, if you bring 46 students, the Science Center will cost less.
