Question

Jeremy's class is going on field trip. The school will bring all students who are there that day plus 4chaperones. Write the equation for the situation

Answer 1

Let x = amount of students.

x + 4 - this is the equation if you are just adding 4 chaperones.

x(4) - will be the equation if you have 4 chaperones per student.

However, I believe the equation x + 4 is your answer.

Hope this helps, Have a great day!<span />

Answer 2

S= Students

1s+4=

we already know that there is at least one student, Jeremy, but we don't know the rest, that's why there is a variable, when you do find that out (and only in this case) you will multiply 1xS
