So, the 2 equations would be.... B -12 = I   and    (B - 3) = 4(I - 3)  the second sentence is irrelevant.
B - 3 = 4 (I) - 12
B - 3 = 4B - 48 - 12
B - 4B = -60 + 3
-3B = -57
B (Ben) = 19
Ishaan is 7

Hope this helps!

Seven hundred new chairs were delivered to a school. If each class
Natalija [7]

Answer:

24 chairs in each class needed

25 classrooms

700 chairs total

how many extra chairs

chairs will be c

t is total

t= 25×c

opposite of multiplication is division( 25 is multiplying by c) c needs to be alone

25 classrooms times chairs equal total chairs

t is 700

700=25×c

700/25=25/25c

700/25=C

c is 28

so 28 chairs for 25 classrooms

they need 24 chairs per class

so there are 4 extra chairs per class

4×25 is 100

**or just multiply 25 classes and 24 chairs

25 times 24 is 600

there are 700 chairs

100 left over

so 100 extra chairs

Please help me if you can. Please also write how you got the answer thank you.

Answer:

Question 9: Variables: (smallest) s, q, r (largest)

Question 10: 5 whole numbers (7, 8, 9, 10, and 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

For question nine, there are two given statements... s=q-2 and q<r. Say we plug in 10000 (a really big #) in for q, then we would get s=9998 and r>10000. This way, we can see that s would be the smallest, then q, and r is the largest. <em>(q<r can be written as r>q)</em>

<em />

For question 10, it states \frac{1}{4}. This can be split into \frac{3}{x} and \frac{3}{x} . When x is 12 in the first equation then \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} and when x is 6 in the second equation \frac{3}{6} =0.5 (0.5 is also  \frac{1}{2}). Therefore, x must be a whole number less than 12 and greater than 6, and it cannot be either 12 or 6. Whole numbers between 6 and 12 are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11  or  5 whole numbers.
