This is a lot of math to write.... so I'll just say the answer is -21 :D
Answer:
Each salesperson sold 89 cars last year.
Step-by-step explanation:
13x = 1157 Set up an equation with an x-varible in place of the number of cars to be found
13x/13 = 1157/13 Divide 1157 by 13
x = 89
Answer:
1,408 packs can be made, and 2 pens will be left out.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a manufacturer has 5,634 pens to divide into packs of 4 pens, and the manufacturer makes as many packs as possible, to determine how many packs of pens does the manufacturer make, and how many pens are left over, the following must be done calculation:
5.634 / 4 = X
1,408.5 = X
5,634 - (1,408 x 4) = X
5.634 - 5.632 = X
2 = X
Therefore, 1,408 packs can be made, and 2 pens will be left out.
Sample Response: Both are correct. As long as inverse operations and the properties of equality are used properly, both methods will generate the same solution. They both isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
