Question

Paulina gets on an elevator. At the first stop, 4 people get off and 3 get on. At the second stop, 5 people get off and one gets on. At the the third stop, Paulina gets off. If 4 people are still on the elevator when Paulina gets off, how many people were on the elevator when she got on?​

Answer 1

Answer:

look down + pls give me brainiest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of people when she got on.

x -4+3 -5+1 -1 = 4

x -6 = 4

Solve for x to get x=10.

So there were 10 people when Paulina got on (including herself).
