Answer:

  3 tents hold 2 campers

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be expressed as a single equation in the number of 2-camper tents.

__

Let x represent the number of 2-camper tents. Then the number of 4-camper tents is 6-x, and the total number of campers in tents is ...

  2x +4(6 -x) = 18

  -2x +24 = 18

  -2x = -6 . . . . . . subtract 24

  x = 3 . . . . . . . divide by -2

Exactly 3 tents hold 2 campers.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The other 3 tents hold 4 campers.

Another way to consider this is to assume that all tents hold 2 campers, and then realize there are 18 -6×2 = 6 campers left over. If these are placed 2 per tent, then there will be 6/2 = 3 tents with 4 campers. The remaining 3 tents will have 2 campers.

<h3>Step 1: Add x</h3>

6 + x = -5

<h3>Step 2: Subtract 6</h3>

x = -11

<h3>Step 3: Check</h3>

6 = -5 - -11

6 = -5 + 11

6 = 6 ✔

<h3>Step 4: Answer</h3>

x = -11

The base is a rectangle, whose are is given by the formula ...

  A = LW

  A = (8 in)(7 in) = 56 in²

Then the pyramid volume is ...

  V = (1/3)(56 in²)(9 in) = 168 in³

The volume of the pyramid is 168 cubic inches.
