Answer:
The equation that can be solved to find the number of nails in each box =
5x = 460
The number of nails in each box = 92 nails
Step-by-step explanation:
A carpenter bought 5 identical boxes of nails. She used 25 nails for a project and now has 435 nails left. Which equation can be solved to find the number of nails in each box.
Let the number of nails in each box be represented by x
Therefore our Equation =
5x = 25 + 435
5x = 460
Solving for x
5x/5 = 460/5
x = 92 nails
Therefore, the number of nails in each box = 92 nails
