Question

3. In a class of 50, the # of people with brown hair is 2 more than 5 times the number of people with red hair. How many

Answer 1

Answer:

8 red haired and 42 brown haired

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose a random number to start off with (which is 8) and I multiplied it by 5.

8•5=40 and then you have to add 2, so you get 42.

42+8 = 50

The equation would be (5x+2)+x where 'x' is the number of people with red hair.
