A college has two classrooms of students.
Classroom A had 70 students.
Classroom B had 30 students.
Classroom A sent groups of 4 students to Classroom B until both classrooms had the same number of students.
The equation shown can be used to find the number of groups that Classroom A sent to Classroom B so each classroom had the same number of students.
70 minus 4 x equals 30 plus 4 x
How many students are in each group?
Question 11 options:
5
4
7
6
To find the number of students in each group, we can solve the equation:
70 - 4x = 30 + 4x
First, let's simplify the equation:
40 = 8x
Now, let's solve for x:
x = 40/8 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 students in each group.
To find the number of students in each group, we need to solve the equation:
70 - 4x = 30 + 4x
First, let's simplify the equation:
70 - 30 = 4x + 4x
40 = 8x
Now, we can solve for x:
40/8 = x
5 = x
Therefore, there are 5 students in each group.
To find the number of students in each group, we can solve the given equation:
70 - 4x = 30 + 4x
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:
70 - 30 = 4x + 4x
40 = 8x
Now, let's solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
40/8 = x
5 = x
So, x represents the number of groups that Classroom A sent to Classroom B. Therefore, the answer is option 1: 5.
Each group consists of 5 students.
