Question

Heather has a collection of 26 months from packing to move she put the same number of months in each of the first four boxes in two months and the last box so 4X +2 equals 26 to find the number of mugs in each of the first four boxes

Answer 1

The number of mugs packed in each of  first four boxes  = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is typed wrongly.

Heather has a collection of 26 mugs from packing to move. She put the same number of mugs in each of the first four boxes in two months and the left mugs in last box so 4 X +2 equals 26.  Find the number of mugs in each of the first four boxes.

Here: X  = The number of mugs put in first four boxes.

The total number of mugs to be packed  = 26

As given :  4 X  +  2  = 26

Now, solving the above expression for the value of X , we get:

4 X  +  2  = 26

⇒ 4 X    = 26 - 2  = 24

⇒ X = $(\frac{24}{4} )$  = 6

⇒ X =  6

Hence, the number of mugs packed in each of  first four boxes  = 4.
