Question

The windows of a downtown office building are arranged so that each floor has 6 fewer windows than the floor below it. If the ground floor has 52 windows, how many windows are on the 8th floor?

Answer 1

Since the ground floor has 52 windows, and every floor, here are 6 fewer windows than the floor below it, we make a expression.

52-y=x.

We are trying to solve for x, not y.

In order to get 'y,' you have to multiply 8 by 6. Which is going to be 48.

(If you don't know multiplication, respectively.)

So now that we solved for y, =48 .... 52-48= ....... = x

Now all we have to do is simply subtract.

x=4.

So the answer to the problem is 4 windows on the 8th floor.

Answer 2

Answer:

10 windows are on the 8th floor

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = 52

2 = 46

3 = 40

4 = 34

5 = 28

6 = 22

7 = 16

8 = 10
