Question

There are 221 students on a field trip 5 students ride in a van the rest of the students fill 6 buses enter an equation that can be solved to find the number of students

Answer 1

Total of 221 students
5 students in a van
6 buses fill with 216 students total
6x + 5 = 221

Answer 2

Answer: The required equation is,

5 + 6x = 221

Where, x represents the number of student in each bus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of student in each bus,

Since, there are 6 bus,

Thus, the number of students in all buses = 6x,

Also, 5 students ride in van,

So, the total students in trip = 5 + 6x,

According to the question,

Total students in the trip = 221,

⇒ 5 + 6x = 221,

Which is the required equation to find the number of students in bus.
