Givens

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 = 4 is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

given  = x ( square both sides )

x + 12 = x² ( rearrange into standard form )

x² - x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4 )(x + 3 ) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Insert these values into the original equation, and if both sides are equal, and those are the solutions.

x = 4 :  =  = 4 = x ← correct

x = - 3 :  =  = 3 ≠ - 3 ← false

the answer is x = 4
