You can just add 7+8=15 and 10 + 30 = 40 and add 40 + 15
Answer:

There are 16 friends at Jack's party.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
Jack's mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends and still had 2 chocolates left. Write an equation to determine the number of friends (x) at Jack's party. Find the number of friends at Jack's party.
Since there are x friends at party, so chocolate given to x friends would be 3 times x
because Jack gave 3 chocolates to each friend.
As Jack has 2 chocolates left after giving to his friends, so total numbers of chocolates would be
.
Now we will equate total number of chocolates by 50 as:

Therefore, the equation
can be used to find number of Jack's friends.
Let us solve for x.




Therefore, there are 16 friends at Jack's party.
It would be 40.
60 minus 20 = 40
Difference means subtraction
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Same distance is drilled by the oil drilling company for 5 days.
Initial elevation = 121.175 feet
Final elevation = -246.875 feet
To find:
The equation to find the value of
i.e. the distance drilled each day?
Solution:
To find the distance drilled each day, we need to divide the total distance drilled with the number of days taken to drill the total distance.
Total distance drilled can be found by subtracting the initial elevation from the final elevation and taking modulus because distance can not be negative.
Total distance drilled = | Final elevation - Initial elevation |
Total distance drilled = | -246.875 - 121.175 |
Therefore, we can write the expression as:
