Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total
Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.
Answer:
BC=10
Step-by-step explanation:
BD-BC=14-4=10
Answer:
21+j=55
Step-by-step explanation:
It says sum, which means to add(+). So you add 21 and j (21+j) and that equals 55 (=55). Then you add all the pieces together and you get 21+j=55
2(x+1)+3x=37
simplifythe left side:
2x +2 +3x = 37
Combine like terms:
5x +2 = 37
Subtract 2 from both sides:
5x = 35
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 7
