There are 20 people in the class room.

One way I set this word problem up is by using the equation 88-4x=8. X would stand for the amount of classmates in the class, 88 would stand for your total pieces of gum and 8 would stand for the remaining pieces left.

With the equation 88-4x=8 you want to subtract 88 from both sides to get the equation -4x=-80. Last you want to isolate x by dividing -4 on both sides to finally get x=20. 20 people in the class room.

On a coordinate plane, the coordinates of vertices R and T for a polygon are R(−7, 3) and T(3, 3). What is the length of Side RT
kozerog [31]
The answer is C. 10 units. This is because they have the same y value so they are the same height, and you need to find the distance between -7 and 3. To get from -7 to 0, you add 7, and to get from 0 to 3 you add 3, so 7 + 3 = 10. I hope this helps!
