I think it’s 8 but unsure
Literally whatever number is in the parenthesis, if it’s negative like -4 then you could down 4 lines of squares and put a dot. if it’s positive then go up
Answer:
There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Kohl has a "x" amount of solution, if he divides it by the number of students "n" he'll give each student 3 milliliters and have a left over of 5 milliliters. If the amount of solution Mr. Kohl had was "x + 21" then he'd be able to give each student 4 milliliters of the solution. From these informations we have:
x = 3*n + 5
(x + 21)/n = 4
x + 21 = 4*n
x = 4*n - 21
Now that we have two equations and two variables we can solve the system of equations, as seen bellow:
3*n + 5 = 4*n - 21
3*n - 4*n = -21 - 5
-n = -26
n = 26
x = 4*26 - 21 = 83 ml
There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.
