Answer:
p = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
180 - 125 = 55
180 - 90 = 90
55 + 90 = 145
180 - 145 = 35
p = 35
33.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 comes close, but there is no whole number * 3 that = 100
----------------------------------------------
Define x:
----------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of students in the second class:
⇒second class = x
There are 3 more students in the first class than in the second class:
⇒first class = x + 3
There are 2 more students in the third class than in the second class:
⇒third class = x + 2
----------------------------------------------
Expression for each class:
----------------------------------------------
First class = x + 3
Second class = x
Third class = x + 2
----------------------------------------------
Expression for total number of students:
----------------------------------------------
Total = x + 3 + x + x + 2
Total = 3x + 5
----------------------------------------------
Find x:
----------------------------------------------
There are 80 students in total, so
3x + 5 = 80
3x = 75
x = 25
----------------------------------------------
Find the number of students in each class:
----------------------------------------------
First class = x + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28
Second class = x = 25
Third class = x + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: There are 25 students in the second class.

Answer:
3b - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
8 + 3b + - 13
