Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total
Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.
Answer:
x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x
Combine like terms:
4x - 7 = 20 - 5x
Isolate Variable
-x = 13
-1(-x) = -1(13)
x = -13
I pretty sure it’s a linear function
