The first step you need to take is to subtract the amount of cards he has from the amount of cards he needs. So 334 (needs) - 214(has) = 120 cards he still needs. So he is collecting 8 cards a day. In order to find out how many days it will take to collect the 120 cards, we need to divide 120 by 8. 120 divided by 8 is 15. So it will take 15 days collecting 8 cards a day in order to reach the 120 cards he still needs to collect.
Solve for x x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable. Exact Form: x = 385 8 x = 385 8 Decimal Form: x = 48.125 x = 48.125 Mixed Number Form: x = 48 1 8 x = 48 1 8
