We need to find the expression for " number_of_prizes is divisible number_of_participants". Also there should not remain any remainder left. On in order words, we can say the reaminder we get after division is 0.
Let us assume number of Prizes are = p and
Number of participants = n.
If we divide number of Prizes by number of participants and there will be not remainder then there would be some quotient remaining and that quotent would be a whole number.
Let us assume that quotent is taken by q.
So, we can setup an expression now.
Let us rephrase the statement .
" Number of Prizes ÷ Number of participants = quotient".
p ÷ n = q.
In fraction form we can write
p/n =q ; n ≠ 0.
Your equation should be
$4(40 tickets) + $5(X) = $400
160 +5x = 400
-160 -160
0 5x = 340
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 340/5
x = 68
so they need to sell 68 tickets at the door.
4(40) + 5(68) = 400
160 + 340 + 400
400 + 400
(28) 2x+10+x-4=21
(29) 3x-16+4x-8=60
(30) 2x-8+3x-10=17
