Hello there.
<span>Fifty- three students from 32 different schools signed up for a multi-classroom project. About how many students signed up for the project?
</span><span>B. about 1,800 students

First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.
Try:
37/7 - 37/7 + 1
-----------
4
15/8 + 1/4
15/8 + 2/8
= (15 + 2) /8
= 17/8
= 2 1/8. 2 whole number 1/8.
Let x represent the number of hamburgers sold, and (x - 55) represent the number of cheeseburgers sold.
Set up an equation:
hamburgers + cheeseburgers = total number of burgers
x + (x-55) = 445
solve for x:
2x - 55 = 445
2x = 445 + 55
2x = 500
x = 500÷2
x = 250
This means 250 hamburgers were sold on Tuesday.
Hope this helps!
