write an equation that represents the following situation. Let x= the number of adults. Your equatin should start with "1220=" and use x as the only variable..
The number of students attending the fall play was 150 more than the number of adults attending. A total of 1220 people attending the play. How many students attended the play?
1220=adults+nonadults
1220=x + (150+x)
write an equation to represent the following situation
the sum of tree consecutive odd integers.
To solve this problem, we need to create an equation using the given information. Let's start by defining x as the number of adults attending the play.
According to the problem, the number of students attending is 150 more than the number of adults attending. This means the number of students can be expressed as x + 150.
Since the total number of people attending the play is 1220, we can set up the equation as follows:
x + (x + 150) = 1220
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 150 = 1220
Now, let's solve for x by isolating the variable on one side. Subtracting 150 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 1220 - 150
2x = 1070
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 1070 / 2
x = 535
So, the number of adults attending the play is 535.
