Answer: 15 students
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that there are 150 students in 6th grade, and that 10% earned straight As last quarter.
The number of students that earned straight As will be:
= 10% × 150
= 10/100 × 150
= 0.1 × 150
= 15 students
(trying to isolate/get x by itself in the equation)
5(x + 6) = 50 Distributive property [distribute 5 into (x + 6)]
5x + 30 = 50 Subtraction [subtract 30 on both sides of the equation]
5x = 20 Division [divide 5 on both sides]
x = 4
Subtraction then division, the 2nd option
For #16, every input by +1 has an output of +7.
9 + 7 = 16
16 + 7 = 23
23 + 7 = 30.....
