Question

A machine prints 230 movie posters each hour write and solve an equation to find the number of house it takes the machine to print 1265 posters.

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of hours

y: amount of movie posters

The equation modeling the problem for this case is given by:

$y = 230x$

Therefore, for 1265 posters we have:

$230x = 1265$

From here, we clear the number of hours.

We have then:

$x = \frac{1265}{230}$

$x = 5.5$

Answer:

an equation to find the number of hours it takes the machine to print 1265 posters is:

$y = 230x$

The number of hours is:

$x = 5.5$
