Answer 1

Answer:

Each friend has 13 actions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the actions of each friends

5friends will have 5x actions

And each friend has 11 more actions which means 5(11)=55

It means 5x+55

The total of their actions is 120

It can be written as 5x+55= 120

To solve

5x+55=120

Substrate 55 from both sides

5x=120-55

5x=65

X=65/5

x=13

Which each friend has 13 actions
