3 robots go out to lunch. They decide to share the $11.91 bill evenly. How much does each robot pay?
Equation: 3x = 11.91
#1. What does x represent?
#2. Solve for x.
#3. Answer the question.
1. X= how much money each robot payed
2. Divide 11.91 by 3
3. Every robot pays $3.97
Solve this the same way I showed you in your last post.

#1. In the equation 3x = 11.91, x represents the amount that each robot pays.
#2. To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do that, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 since there are 3 robots:
3x = 11.91
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 11.91 / 3
Evaluating the right side of the equation:
x ≈ 3.97
So, x is approximately 3.97.
#3. Each robot pays approximately $3.97.
