Question 9

Answer 1

Answer:

$4n = 24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cars = 4$

$Empty = 3$

$Occupied = 21$

Required

Determine an equation to find number of seats

Let the number of seats in each car be represented by n;

If $1\ car = n$

Then:

$4\ cars = 4 * n$

$4\ cars = 4 n$

This implies that there are 4n total seats

Solving further:

$Occupied\ Seats + Empty\ Seats = Total$

Substitute values for the above parameters:

$21 + 3 = 4n$

$24 = 4n$

Reorder

$4n = 24$ ---- This equation can be used to solve for n
