Let the number of students in the class be x
Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x
Equation
3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.
3(x - 1) + 8 = 168 This doesn't work either.
Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.
3x + 8 = 168 Subtract 8 from both sides.
3x = 168 - 8 Combine
3x = 160 Divide by 3 on both sides.
x = 160 / 3
x = 53.333333333
Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.
3x
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the 2 equations equal to each other and solve for x.
11x-28=7x-8
add 28 to both sides (-8+28=20)
11x=7x+20
subtract 7x from both sides (11x-7x=4x)
4x=20
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x (20/4=5)
x=5
Answer:
true
Step-by-step explanation:
it is so because they are brother and sister
And in the chapter there is that they had farm with a new barn
if in your book lesson there is that they had no farm with a new barn then there will be false
Now did you understood?
It's possible for it to be factored after factoring set both numbers equal to 0 and solve and you should get 9 and -8
