On Tuesday, 296 people went on a community field trip to the local museum. All 11 buses were filled and 10 people had to ride in cars. Solve for b to determine how many people were on each bus: 11b+10=296 .(1 point)

To solve for b, we need to isolate the variable b on one side of the equation.
We can start by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation:
11b + 10 - 10 = 296 - 10
11b = 286
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 11 to solve for b:
11b/11 = 286/11
b = 26
Therefore, there were 26 people on each bus.
